===a porous chunk of rock===
A common drop found from all critters in The Hive is 'a porous chunk of rock' which contains a random gem (from The Hive or the Zul Logoth area) when you BREAK the rock. However, you cannot break the rock in dangerous areas and must go to a safe location such as Zul Logoth first.

In The Hive:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>
>break rock
You don't feel safe enough here to spend time breaking open the chunk of rock.
</pre>

In Zul Logoth:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>
>break rock
You squeeze the chunk of rock with all of your might and it shatters apart, revealing an uncut ruby inside!
Roundtime: 5 sec.
</pre>

===Royal Jelly===
Occasionally, 'a waxy royal jelly capsule' can be found in The Hive. The capsule spawns with the following message:

Small kiramon drones skitter by, carrying capsules full of sweet-scented royal jelly. One capsule topples to the ground and lands on its side, but the drones continue on, heedless of the loss.
</pre>

The capsule will remain the room for a certain amount of time and cannot be picked up. However, players choose to DRINK the capture.

<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>
>look capsule
The royal jelly capsule is made from a wax that is orange and amber banded with mauve. Within, the jelly is a deep golden color, but there are also reddish clots that look a bit less appetizing.

The royal jelly capsule looks a little too cumbersome and fragile to handle, but you think you could take a drink from inside if you were willing to risk it.

>drink capture
You break open the seal of the royal jelly capsule and take a deep draught of the viscous jelly within. Surprisingly sweet, the fluid tastes of browned sugar and orange blossoms, with only the slightest tang of copper in its aftertaste. Energy burns along your veins, and you feel unnaturally invigorated!

a porous chunk of rock

A common drop found from all critters in The Hive is 'a porous chunk of rock' which contains a random gem (from The Hive or the Zul Logoth area) when you BREAK the rock. However, you cannot break the rock in dangerous areas and must go to a safe location such as Zul Logoth first.

In The Hive: 

>break rock
You don't feel safe enough here to spend time breaking open the chunk of rock.

In Zul Logoth: 

>break rock
You squeeze the chunk of rock with all of your might and it shatters apart, revealing an uncut ruby inside!
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Royal Jelly

Occasionally, 'a waxy royal jelly capsule' can be found in The Hive. The capsule spawns with the following message: 

Small kiramon drones skitter by, carrying capsules full of sweet-scented royal jelly.  One capsule topples to the ground and lands on its side, but the drones continue on, heedless of the loss.

The capsule will remain the room for a certain amount of time and cannot be picked up. However, players choose to DRINK the capture. 

>look capsule
The royal jelly capsule is made from a wax that is orange and amber banded with mauve.  Within, the jelly is a deep golden color, but there are also reddish clots that look a bit less appetizing.

>get capsule
The royal jelly capsule looks a little too cumbersome and fragile to handle, but you think you could take a drink from inside if you were willing to risk it.

>drink capture
You break open the seal of the royal jelly capsule and take a deep draught of the viscous jelly within.  Surprisingly sweet, the fluid tastes of browned sugar and orange blossoms, with only the slightest tang of copper in its aftertaste.  Energy burns along your veins, and you feel unnaturally invigorated!

This give the 'royal jelly infusion' buff which provides the player with a +40 AS bonus for 10 minutes.

End of buff: 

The feeling of feverish invigoration ebbs away, leaving you feeling diminished by its absence.
