I play and untiwked lvl 30 ranger and i soloed these guys even the lvl 33 ones which do ofcourse con red. So this quest can be soloed at lvl 30 if u know how to play a ranger. RAngers are a far mroe powerful class then given credit. Trick is to cast sow on yourself. Dot the target, Don't cast snare, with snare you will waste mana as it will be resisted 9/10 times. You can still outrun them with sow, cast your dot spell which rarely gets resisted even on the red con brownies. Then wip out your bow and start firing make sure u stay out of their attack range, they hit hard. When u run out of mana and their health is down to 40% mele them and they should go down. Careful they somtiems have a nasty damage sheild. They also heal themselves.

Factions for corrupt are
- Meldrath (which is whom?)
+ Gem Choppers
+ King of Ak'Anon

hope this helps seems like a way to raise Gnome faction if that is important

Thistle Underbrush drops Rune of Ivy for the Tunic, Quest done fast and fun, with Help on Meldrath in Minotaur caves.

Three of my guildmates (29 druid, 28 bard, 30 necromancer)and I (30 ranger) played whack-a-pixie around the tower until one of us saw "a outcast brownie" on track. Killing it was fairly easy. With all of us whacking on it, we interupted its spellcasting fairly well. I cannot remember how many we killed, but we completed the task in a couple of hours. That included two of us getting killed by that corrupted black horse, Equestrelle (spelling??) once and all of us successfully running to the zoneline another time. It must have been around 12-15 of them. I remember having 11 brownie parts afterwards.

Oh, Thistle Underbrush showed up twice as we were playing whack-a-pixie. So, I looted the rune of ivy for the helm as well.

I ve got one arrrow to go, need all six, I've killed close to 30 of them, they keep dropping duplicates. They are kind of tough for my 39 ranger. died once or twice. The key is to get them as they spawn, or they buff them selves. Who ever got all 6 in 10 kills was very lucky, the odds of that happeneing are quite low.

The best is to keep hitting them with carless lightning, as fast as possibe. I had more HP, so it is a race to kill them, I'd be oom by time they died.

If they were not a fresh spawn, then sneak up with camo, one spell of cancel magic, then just carless lightning. Make sure u are within hitting range. They try to root, but I usally resist.

Just last night I finished camping the brownie outcasts. I had a level 36 Pally and myself (level 30 Ranger). We could easily kill the Pixie Tricksters and Pranksters and force the Brownie Outcasts to spawn.

We ran into two "gotchas." First, if Equestrielle the Corrupted is in the zone, her pathing takes her right past the Pixie Tower. Ouch and run for MM zone several times.

Also, about every third or fourth spawn, the Outcasts came in two's instead of by themselves. When two of these little monsters spawn, a group of two really cannot take them. We had to ask for help from higher levels camping the zone to clear the spawns.

Finally, I had about 4 duplicate lore items all told. So, we had to kill 10 Outcasts to get all the arrows.

The Pally cast endure magic and I cast endure fire on both of us. During the battle I (ranger) tried to interrupt the casting of the Outcast while Pally tanked. Also, I cast Cancel Magic at least 2 or 3 times every battle to debuff the Outcasts.

Ok, one day I was trying to solo these dudes they con white (lvl 32 ranger) and as I was really wanting some more ivy etched to add to my collection, I thought how hard can they be, I tracked one down to the tower, hit him w/ snare, backed up, hit him w/ ignite and arrows (bow kiting for all those that don't know). He hit me w/ ensnaring roots, I think crap, bust out my morin's and sarnak claws, he's too far away for me to hit but to close to use bow, so here I am swatting uselessly at this little 1 and a half foot creep. Next thing I know he's full health and I'm dropping an entire bub of health every 2 to 3 ticks, my advice get your guild (if you have one) to help you, I have a lvl 44 cleric, 32 ranger, 33 mage, 39 warr, and most likely many more ppl to help me, and we are still leary about these guys.

These guys are great to kill for the brownie parts now. I have been killing them and getting one brownie part each kill. Thank goodness for increased drop rate!

Hey All, 39th Warrior and 35th Cleric Team. These guys were pretty easy and very good exp.

They seem to spawn 2 at a time, every 30 mins if the PH (The Pixies) are clear.

I was killing this guy for the meats (10% drop). Get this at 46 he still gives fair exp and hes green to me as a Wizard. I usually loose 20% do to that nasty creeping crud. He has greater healing, DoTs and spells at his disposal. Stuns work wonders and he usually falls after 2 conflags and a stun if he doesnt heal himself. Thats over 1200hps of Damage. So don't take him lightly. He can't see through invis but will attack once you are in aggro range and is a HUGE range considering I am 13-14 levels above him. He will come running out of the woods for me no problem.

Also occasionally he will spawn nearly back to back. So invis immediately after looting him. Kill all the pranksters and tricksters. Don't Kill the Joungulers or Nobles as that will make you KoS to all faeries in general and thus become a pest to constantly kill them as they see you. And they dont like any evil charecter races - they just dont.

Casters who are in the 34th level and are doing practice research will love to buy the wings. The dusts (6 needed) are good for the simple ranger quest and faction with Clerics of Tunare, etc. The arrows don't take long to gather and if you know what your doing Wilton isnt bad to get to spawn either, in OOT.

Slaying these pesky creatures seems to result in the following faction:

King of Ak'Anon goes up
Gemcutters goes up
Unkempt Druids goes down

To get them to spawn, kill pixies around the tower area. Not too difficult, however, one killed everyone in a party of 3 thirtieth level rangers. The BO's drop arrows needed for the Ranger Ivy Etched Armor Leggings quest.
