I guess this makes the other mobs Scary Monsters.

Comment by Giondi

Probably a reference to the Skrillex album "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites." As their name implies, they are friendly, but clicking on crystals near them will give you a debuff for one minute that sets you to unfriendly with them so they can be attacked.

Here's how you turn these nice guys into attackable....there is a large pink rock crystal called the Neverending Spritewood that will appear near the sprites (roughly the same size as the yellow crystals that are on the large tree the nice sprites are surrounding) that you click on that makes them attackable . (on a side note suggestion, it helps if you bring a friend along to heal you, they can't help you kill Angry Sprites or Scary Sprites but getting healed while you are in a killing frenzy will most certainly be beneficial to you.)

Then once you kill enough of these good sprites turned bad, well then get ready for the Scary Sprite to pop up! The Scary Sprite of course has a chance to drop the highly sought after new companion pet called the Dandelion Frolicker.

As of 10/2/2013, the spawn rate on Scary Sprites has been increased, and the damage they deal has been decreased by 40%. (Thank you Blizz Pet Gods for this!)

Happy pink rock crystal spawn camping!

This event crystal doesnt show on your minimap as two swords like other similiars on Timeless Isle.

By clicking on the Neverending Spritewood (A bright Pink stone near the tree the Nice Sprites are around), you will recieve a debuff that will turn all of the Nice Sprites into Angry Sprites or, if you're lucky, into Scary Sprites. The Scary Sprites will have a chance to drop the rare pet Dandelion Frolicker. By killing the Angry Sprites you have a chance to turn any new spawns of the into Scary Sprites.

You can only click on the Neverending Spritewood once per day and it only lasts for one minute, so if you want to make sure you've got a good shot at killing all of the Scary Sprites you can, here is a list of a few things that can help you:

It should be noted, as of Oct. 2nd, the spawn rate on Scary Sprites has been increased, and the damage they deal has been decreased by 40%.

Head to the nearby Old Pi'jiu, a village with three different kinds of ghosts living in it. Kill the Spectral Brewmaster for Thick Pi'jiu Brew which will summon a ghost who will use an AOE to help you. Kill the Spectral Windwalker for Bubbling Pi'jiu Brew, which will summon a ghost who will use a single target attack to help you. Kill the Spectral Mistweaver for Misty Pi'jiu Brew which will summon a ghost who heals you. These can all be summoned at the same time, so it's worth it to gather all three.

If you get lucky you can use one of these artifacts, which are found across the isle, to help you. Don't spend too much time looking though as they only last ten minutes, and have a one minute cooldown. The artifacts do various forms of AOE (circle, cone, cleave) and cause 200,000 damage to those caught within their range.

Use a feast or other stat boosting ability useful for your class.

Use these three items: Singing Crystal, Book of the Ages, and Dew of Eternal Morning. These are all dropped by mobs on the isle. If you are having trouble them, you can complete the daily Path of the Mistwalker for any one of the three.

Use Strange Glowing Mushroom, dropped from the Shamblers in the Cavern of Lost Spirits.

Use Faintly-Glowing Herb, dropped by the Ashleaf Sprites.

Use a potion or elixir for boosting a stat useful to your class.

I've also found that Kafa Press is exceedingly useful, although it is considered a potion, and you can't use a healing/mana potion during the fight afterwards.

Find a Time-Lost Shrine for one of these buffs. They last for 60 minutes, and while you can have only one active, they are incredibly useful.

Make sure to use all your class cooldowns! This can only be done once per day, so give it everything you've got!

Eat various things around the isle, such as Ripe Crispfruit which is found near Old Pi'jiu. Grants you the buff Timeless Nutriment.

Bring a friend! While they can't help you attack the sprites (the sprites will still be friendly to your friend) your friend can heal you. Plus, since the sprites are friendly, they won't attack your friend either.

Only available to do 1 time every day! Sitting there for several hours waiting for respawn is pointless. I saw 17 pink crystals spawn and I could only activate the pink crystal once!

Respawn rate is about every 15-20 minutes on the pink crystal.

Also for those doing the achievement before clicking on the pink crystal make sure you are fully buffed. Once you click on the crystal you have 20-30 secs to kill as many sprites as possible! Once the timer runs out the mobs de-aggro and turn green even if damaged!

Hope this helps! Please promote comment!

These are the 'Nice Sprites' that go with the Scary Monsters.

Now all we need is a Skrillex mob.

I find it hilarious how all the posts referencing Skrillex got downvoted, funny...
