The Nesting Rat is in location 7 on the EqAtlas map. I camped there for ages killing the three rats whenever they appeared. I kept seeing Giant Rats and Cubes spawning that conned Blue to my Lev 5 and I killed them all. I must have killed 50 rats before the Nesting Rat finally spawned and I was able to get the Golden Locket with Char +3 on it.

Spawns in the "Drosco" room, no idea how frequently. Never saw one before and then had two in a minute.

Can someone please tell me the exact loc of this spawn? I think I may know where it is, but I am not sure since I have never seen either these rats or the Droscoe person of whom you all speak.
If you were me and I were you, would we still be friends?

There are three placeholders in the Drosco room for this mob...all large rats, and they're arranged in a semi circle of three facing the door...if Drosco is still alive, he's in the middle of them facing the door as well...basically, kill the large rats, and sometimes a nesting rat will spawn instead...in a bit more than an hour or so, I obtained around 8 of the necklaces...the necklace drops off of every nesting rat (as far as I can tell) as well.
Happy Hunting!

i wonder who in the world at Verant thought of a "nesting rat" as the creature you'd get a locket from?
I just think of the rat as something like a mockingbird, grabbing shiny things to put in its nest. Either that or some enchanter's illusion spell gone horribly wrong =)
Sentiment without action is the death of the soul.

On a good day in EC, you can sell one of these to lvl 10-13 chars for about 5-10pp. Thats how I usually made money for spells.

How much is it worth? What classes and races can use it?

I camped these for a while, they spawn like 1 in 3 spawns of the 3 rats there.
The golden locket is not lore, so i ended up with 10 golden lockets when i headed to fp, and got most of them sold (i was camping 3 different spawns down there for money for several hours)
