Talk:Beedle: Difference between revisions

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.
