Talk:Beedle

I'm not sure what kind of reference would work for Beetle offering to trade something for a beetle. I have noted this behavior in game, and it's not one of his normal wares.

Specifically, Beetle will offer to trade one of a select few items that he won't sell normally for a beetle. There's some random element to the trade, but it will always be a consumable which will produce a low level effect of the same variety as the beetle would in a potion. These will range in resale value from 40 rupees to 120 rupees, though most of the time it seems like it's a 50 rupee trade for a Bladed Rhino Beetle, a 60 rupee trade for a Rugged Rhino Beetle, and a 70 rupee trade for an Energetic Rhino Beetle. I've only gotten an item worth more than 10 rupees more or less than the typical for a particular beetle for an energetic rhino beetle, and that was a 120 rupee Energetic Elixir both times.

Mighty Elixirs will, of course have a Bladed Rhino Beetle in their recipe. I was scandalized the first time I saw that... and then realized that beetles really don't live that long, so of course some will occasionally die.

This would be awesome to document in some sort of fashion. I've been playing and I just mash A over and over every time I talk to him... because I don't want to give him my Beetles. I've done it 100+ at this point that I've stopped paying attention... Mases (talk) 07:28, January 9, 2020 (UTC)
