Geonids assisting tar goos

[Twoberries]

I can't find anything saying that geonids and tar goos are buddies. In fact I found this Alla post from 2002:

Big tar goos (and maybe small ones but I have seen none dropping it) now drop this Secretion. It is used in a new Skyshrine bard quest involving trade skills, resulting in instruments (drum here).

I was on the quest and decided to try soloing Tar goos. At 56 forget that. Takes hours, too many hp and even the "small ones" are green and hit for 107. Without forgetting they have tons of hp. This is insane.

Brought a level 60 druid and warrior, this was easier. But on 12 big goos (and the subsequent small ones) we got only 1 of those secretion.

oh yeah, it is no drop :/

EDIT : Geonids WILL kill steal you so pull out of their caves and without running before them. Fearie Dragons won't ks.

And this from 2004:

These things as have been stated are a major undercon. Best way I've found to deal with them is pull them to the geonids and let them fight them. Then beat on the injured geonid after it has killed the goos.

I just tested on live and geonids will attack tar goos, not assist them.
