a brownie  

just dropped Words of Dissolution and a cat's eye agate

FYI Brownies, Brownie Guards, Brownie Farmers all have spawn time of 15 mins in LFay.

I hated these little things since my poor pally was a baby and my chanter was a baby, they killed me dead I dont know how many times in lfay. Now at lvl 65 chanter I DC the guard and slaughter the entire village to get even......
Easy as pie. Revenge is sweet.
but........
Sony got the last laugh
for enchanter epic 2.0 you have to talk to a brownie noble who is located in lfay and now that I have killed these nasty rotten things for revenge/brownie parts, wonder if I will be able to talk to that noble.

I double checked my information about invisibility not working on the brownies and I can now say that I was wrong. Brownies can't see invisible... I must have done something to make it fall while I was close to them that I didn't realize I had done. So, if anyone saw what this post used to say, disregard it. Brownies can't see invisible... so you're safe.

So how do we get brownie parts for baking if these things are so deadly????

I was wandering through Lfay when i was about lv 8-9 and a lil dude came running up to me and a whacked me for about 40 damage a few times REALLY fast and ran off...

Lv 25 now and decided to see how tough the little !@#$ers were, I had 2 level 60 enchanter buffs on (haste and some mana regen spell) and protection of the glades i think. I finally found one at the same time he found me... I was able to hit him every time doing around 60-65 dmg per hit and he was not very visible losing health. I on the other hand was getting nuked out the a!@ and switched to my sword(22 dly) and was finally able to interrupt spells... may sound crazy but if I had a friend there about lv 25 or so the brownie would have died, I had to run once i got to about 2 bubbles of health (stupidly forgetting i had LoH up) they seemed to not hit as fast as when i was a lower lv but for more damage(up to 70melee 200+nuke) as i was running I was still getting nuked but for around 50-80 this time... they all seem to be different from one another.

WORD OF ADVICE!: watch your back... and have a few high lvls watch it as well :)

Druids lose faction by killing brownies. just wanted to inform.

well today 01-01-2002 got killed three times twice by the brownies scouts,and once by the named horse,lv 35 enchnater pet out buffed to boot brownie scout cons blue,but resists everything,has damage shield on,and sow.You can get get into the brownie village with air elemntal illusiion without problems.
my problem still remains where do i get the brownie parts? does anypone knows a way to get brownie parts without kiiling them?

I had a 60 Druid running through with Scale of wolf, which is faster and the brownie guards still kicked my ass, These thigns are FAR to under conned

I got killed by one of them brownie @#%^ers and I was a lvl 4 Gnome Necro, I was way in the woods, I had a lvl 50 sow and outran them but When i got lost to turn around BOOM Brownie scout hits you for 96 DMG 3 times, I was dead LOADING PLEASE WAIT...
I took 3 hits cause of skin like nature, but none the less it didnt save me, No way i was gonna get my corpse so I thought you know take a long shot and ask a GM, Surprisingly enough it summoned my corpse to the zone entrance for me, wow GMs are useful.

hehe....a brownie...man im hungry....

You know what would be kewl...a GM event...Giant/Brownie War!...Can you imagine! Haha...that would be some great screenshots. A Frost Giant Elite has been slain by a Brownie Guard!...hehehe

Ok people, most cannot outrun these things, even with sow. Why? Ok, think about it. All the brownie types are druids, right? Well, PC druids get SoW, so why shouldn't they? So if you have sow on you, don't think you can outrun them.

I was in Lfay roaming around on my 17 druid (I thought I was in Steamfront, lol) and after 10 minutes of wandering on the path ran into a scout. I remembered tales of how powerful they were, so I decided to run, thinking I could outrun them with sow. WRONG! He was still hitting me from behind, and I know because I turned around after running a good distance, and he was right there. He rooted, then a simple DD,

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...

Only if you were a high lvl bard with an instrument in hand would you be able to outrun these things (probably Spirit of Cheetah too)

i don't think the zones: lesser faydark only is right.... i ran into one of these freaks in Gfay and he mauled me at when i was lvl 4 or 5... duh. later on one of my low level friends got mauled by one

I have taken up baking and I know that the brownies drop "brownie parts" is there some place that sells "brownie parts" also? I don't really want to kill them. Thanks

Brownies can be mean lil' buggers. They always will. Although there are a few tricks for safe travel.

1. Invis! They can't see you. Works well.

2. Wolf Form! Wolf for makes them like you. In fact they will like you enough that they will sell to you in their brownie village.

3. Tree Form! Works as well. Can buy and sell and also wave at the brownies. Guess they are tree huggers too.

Only other safe way to travel to zones in Lfay is walking th walls. To get to Steamfront you need to walk left from Gfay zone. To MM it is safer to walk this same way, past the shadowmen, and walk around the Tier'dal camp that is next to the wall. The Tier'dal will smack you silly. Safe to walk around them till you see the wood elf camp, then turn back and keep heading along the wall till you meet MM. This way leads you to the Sisters Nybright camp, Tier'dal, Wood Elf, Orc Chief, and Fae Drakes.

I myself am angry with the adding of Brownie Scouts. I used to hunt bandits and other things in the zone and thanks to Verant they ruined that. The following are some unsafe locations.

NEVER follow the paths! 4 brownie scouts are on the random paths.

Bandits camp #1 (The dervs, not the nybright sisters) located near the Pixie Camp has one near there. The Brownie Scout is right on the hill that you cross where you will begin to see the palm trees that you only get on that side of the forest. Sometimes walking to wall will get you nailed by him.

One of these little guys waxed me twice in a row!! They think they own the friggin' forest! Don't underestimate that level 15. I was 20 at the time I got dealt with~be careful! Run with invis and you should be fine!

Read the subject.... do they KOS cuz I wouldnt wanna go there with a brownie person that's lvl 55 KOSing me at 16....

First off let me say that the level listed here is off by at least 50%. I am level 36 and it conned blue to me. Also, in the time I took it's life down by almost 1/4, it was one hit from sending me to my binding point.

Best spot to hunt for these is around the Fairie Village (approx loc: +1100, +3600). Kill all the Pixie Tricksters and Pranksters you can and keep checking your radar (even though the one that wasted me didn't show on radar but I could hear it casting).

I recommend the first spell you hit this with is dispel or something similar. The one I "fought" had a damage shield on it. It pulled the old root-n-blast on me and as I stated before, I barely put a dent in it.

Suggestions: Pull this little (I mean little) guy away from the Fairie Village, if another Outcast pops... Loading, Please Wait.

your using brownies the quest calls for brownie outcasts very high level creatures. NOT THE LEVEL 15 BROWNIES

i was a 13 warrior and those suckers were green is it a new patch or they changed the lvl

with 2 at L 30 they will kill you and your partner so easy it is not funny. they are druids with all the pre nerf abilities. a ranger would be hard pressed to solo these at less than L 39. yes you heard right L 39 because if there are 2 you need SOW to gety away. hey go for it at lower level but be warned they are tough casters.

Real surprising that this guy has an AOL account, isn't it? <sigh>
