corrupted brownie  

Only thing I did was bring my 85 mage...BOOM...end of story. lmao (Moral of the story...use the biggest guns you have and the little bugger won't know what hit him.)

Ok camp for hours at 0,0 stay up on lil hill toward the orc camp. Over 3 hours aafter I killed Esqruelle (spl)the Corrupt still no Tainted. I remebered from years and years ago helping another that you should clear the brownie camp/merchant far corner of zone. I killed all 3 ph at 0,0 and went to the brownie outpost. Beware guards hard to kill both they heal each other almost bit the dust. Im a 55 druid. NUked one down with lil mana left and dps other had thorns on and lil sidekick bear. Used the free clicky dot drones of doom till I regened mana to pop some more. Noble out side easy solo ... rest inside cabin easy one or 2 dot kills. Merchants cant be harmed.

Ran toward 0,0 and low an behold out popped tainted but took to long and popped both ph too. Was still low mana and forgot in haste to med. Hit snare on tainted then then rooted ... Bad idea make sure liek I did to spread out spawns of 3 ph in case a tainted pops a ph or another tainted wont aggro. I took to long on outpost camp clearing and they all 3 came up. Used JEster and servant had tainted on the run when both ph scouts paTHED/AGGROED on me.

Was bad thing. Never fear!! always use your skills. At 55 alot of dots do no harm to me from scouts but they can still wack on yea pretty good. Snare/rooted scouts off and used the clicky drones of doom arm on all. Left pet on tainted to keep his regen down some. Took one scout at a time fourtuanaly thorn were still up and had the selfbuff thorn armor on. Was slow process. Killed them both when mana regen (potions casue no lazy ass chanter to kei me) gave me enough to squeeze out a few dots. I was really gonna kick my jester ass all I got was the food/wine and POOFIE turned me into a godam fairy. I was like Im gonna die a fairy.

Anyway I went after tainted with track and I guess my pet had came back to laugh at me casue tainted was almost regent half but was still on his slow/snare run from low health. I guess he was to busy hiding in shame some fairy and lil cub bear was beating his butt he kept slow run away instead of reaggroing like most do at like 20%. Luck I guess.

Then to my amazzment jester coughed up a full mana while Iwas following and sitting some then and it was on. Conserved mana and dotted used pet. He died then Corrupt spawneed and did not aggo on pet who I had called back pet. REal nice. Recasted thorns on me and pet and went at Corrupt. All was well untill I realized he was taking my health down and for some dumb reason I unmemed my only heal to recast thorns... (note to self your a jackass). Anyway with full dots on mob and my health dropping too I nuked Socria untill he died with me at 30% health left. (Steadfast servant and jester saved me big time)

A gloroius fight for 4 or 5 hours of sitting. I did clean off my computer table some during the wait. Trust me was much needed. I wonder where the hell all those case screws I found in the carpet came from. Oh well my first build and its not spouting lava yet.


To recap EQstrell the courupt did not effect anything. Maybe I should have cleared the spawn at 0,0 first like I did before I went to the outpost. Clearing the far corner brownie outpost might have caused the trigger. Could have been a coincidence, but if you read other corrupts and clearing this might have been helpfull. Even at 55 level with virt on this brownie was no joke. I could have soloed the whole thing with my 80 cleric who is solteris geared to the 9's 20k hps 19k mana with the vowvalor/retrubution thing. But I dropped outta guilod/raids to have some fun with my first toon a silly druid who got me into more crap than I can recall in the last 9.5 years. She deserves her epic and Im doing it as old school and solo as I can. Plus to many buddies are stuck redoing Frostcrypt 1 and 2 causee of low numbers (ducks) and cant come help or wont. So have fun its why we started playing this godam game.

Ps yes there are typos and at 130 AM with a 5am wakeup Im sorry Im to lazy.

Where is that lil fairy casting JEster Im gonna kiss that mofo.

Been killing everything around 0,0 for two hours tonight and no spawn, killed equestrielle, killed everything i could see and no brownie lived longer than a few seconds. I'm becoming extremely frustrated and was wondering if I missed something in how to spawn this guy?

After hours of killing at 0,0 inc. the horsie the only thing that brought it out was killing the 3 places holders.

I took my wifey (Druid) to be her hitter. The Druid pop I root, she dotted, they died...We waited 12 mins to see if the ph worked.

Eventually they did

Been here for 3 hours killing Scouts and nothing... am I doing something wrong?

The drop you are after here is the Green Heartwood Branch.

I ran into the tainted brownie with my 62 warrior today and he aggroed me, so I /ooc if anyone needs but nobody in zone did so I decided to take the little guy down. The tainted went down pretty easy but the corrupted was a little tougher. I was unbuffed at the time so I ended up having to use most of my disciplines to stay alive. After using mighty strike discipline and landing a couple 900+ crippling blows followed with my fortitude discipline he finally fell with my hp bar at 13%. I decided to add up the damage I did to see how many hit points he had and it came out to be 10477!! Sure wish I had that kind of hp. Anyhow, highest he hit me for was 127, and I'm not so sure that he is a druid, he never once tried to cast anything on me. Hope this info helps any druids that are looking for him.

I got real lucky tonight. Camped the baracuda for about an hour and a half when tainted popped. Ran on shore and sure enough, he followed. Classic root & rot strategy with Immolate, Drifting Death, and Drones from ES Vams. I then head over to EJ hoping for a shot at the gorilla. Adds got to be too much after buffs ran out so I gate to LFay where corrupt brownie soundly handed me my own a$$ on a silver platter the night before. A high lvl LDoN group is happening to walk by and heals and buffs me up (Thanks Sheeyra!!!) Sure enough, I med back up when I hear /ooc Corrupt brownie up and at 9%. Immediately I start tracking this little bugger down, only he's not showing up on radar. After a few more /ooc's someone spots him south of the brownie merchants in all the shrooms with the fairies. By the time I get there of course he's up to full, but I decide what the heck. Snare, it sticks. Wait for the summon, back up a bit. Root, it sticks. Wait for the summon, and I start putting up my dots one at a time inbetween summons. Once all the dots are up, I sit and med or heal inbetween summons as needed. I think root broke twice, but I was able to get it back on him. After what I'm guessing is about 10 or 15 rounds of Immolate, Drones, and Drifting, he dropped.

At the time, I was 51, 249 WIS with KEI, had wolf form, Skin Like Nature, Thorncoat and Shield of Thorns, and Chloro for the duration of the fight.

Just goes to show you it CAN be done. The first time I met him, he seemed to resist all my snares and dots I threw at him, fight lasted MAYBE 2 minutes. This time, once I got the cycle of dots down in between summons, it was cake.

Just my 2 cp.

Just for fun you all suck, I soloed the tainted and corrupted with my 55 warrior, amazing what the mighty strike discipline did to that little punk, i crit for over 400 8 times, sucker never had a chance

Took out the Corrupted with a 56 Ranger and myself, a 55 Druid. The fight was easy as can be. Only healed the ranger once when he got to 60%. It took about 1 1/2 hours to get him to spawn.

Tried to solo him first but he won the day. Had him to 4% hp though.

Good luck to you.

that dork i killed him and his stupid counterpart bymyself,hes a punk,lol,

Ok, Hubby and I just camped for the corrupted.

The spawn point is 0 by 0 or so close as to not matter. They spawn, move a very short distance, buff, then wander.

There are 3 brownie scout spawns.

They are EXACTLY 17 minute spawns. (We were there for 6 respawns. Give or take a few seconds, and some allowance has to be made for how fast /time can be hit, they are 17 minutes.)

65 enchanter with pet
52 druid

enchanter had Arcane Rune knocked down and took a bit more damage on a second Arcane Rune over the tainted / corrupted fight so under 3000 hp, and probably a lot less

druid lost about 750 hp as well

pet didn't take enough damage to lose "uproar" so under 450 hp

pet was red to 52 druid, and corrupted took less than 6 nukes from enc (1100 hp each) and 5 from druid (612 hp each) so probably under 20khp for the tainted / corrupted combo

Went thru LFay and the Tainted was up. Solo'd him easily with 60m to spare (I'm a 57 dru), but I knew I couldn't get the Corrupted with the remaining mana so I gated out after doting him once. It took me about 5 mins to get back because I was bound in PoK, but he (the Corrupted) was still up when I got there. I took another 5 mins or so to med/rebuff before I attacked him again.

1 Ensnare, 3 Engorging Roots, 4 dots (2 Winged Death/2 Drifting Death), and a couple of DD's (Breath of Karana) finally took him down with no mana to spare. In addition to the Branch, he also dropped Words of Energy (whatever those are for!?).

I didn't ever see him cast a spell, he just kept summoning me about every 8 seconds - like Meeshak previously mentioned in another post - which was plenty of time to get spells off in between summons. He'd hit me once or twice on each summon so I had to heal myself quite a bit, which is why mana ran out so fast. Even though the DD's broke root, I think the quick damage was worth it because obviously, the longer you fight him, the more time he has to keep summoning you into range to beat on you. His max hit, which he did often, was 126.

I only had KEI and my own druid buffs cast on me. Plus, I still have very lame mid-lvl gear (225 Wis with KEI and almost no +mana) so I'm sure others at my lvl and below can solo him, too. Just gate out after the Corrupted pops or do like Winvaryen suggested in an earlier post and take the Tainted down to about 5% then med to full and rebuff before killing it to trigger the Corrupted.

My wife's 52 DRU was in lfay shopping for an enchanter and she saw the tainted on track. I popped in with my 51 WIZ, we got share wolf form, and off we went. The tainted went down easy, DRU kept it snared/rooted and WIZ unloaded ice comets. The corrupted spawned, and WIZ was way low on mana. Oops. We tried the corrupted, but couldn't keep him still. In the end, WIZ was out of mana and DRU was trying to outrun the summons to get a heal off. She did, and eventually she zoned and I evac'ed off the aggro list.

I camped to my 57 bard while she medded up. She went back in and verified that he had not despawned. Bard came over, got share wolf form, and we tried again. This time is did nothing but twist snare and fear while meleeing. DRU followed along and nuked for all she was worth. Brownie went down with only one spell cast on us: a root that did not hold when I first snared him.

The share wolf form helped alot though. In the tainted fight, we had at least one brownie scout run right over us while we were nuking. He never paid us any attention since we were both wolves.

ok, It's may 2nd 2003 and i have sat at loc 0 - 0 for 3 hours killing every brownie scout that has popped and still not getting what i need, guess either they changed spawn rate or spawn location.... any insight to this?

If you go to Loc Pos 57 Pos 12 after you have killed all the current ones running around and face due south you well see them drop in then just root and nuke no more track and chase...

Was there for only 18 minutes at most. Killed all 3 wondering scouts on track around 0,0. 15 minutes later, tainted showed up, monk attacked while I sitted back and dot'd. Lucky camp for me :)

In windowed mode now... Went to loc 0,0... No camp!!! Wandering scouts on track... Has there been a change?

57 monk / 51 druid duoed this mob on 1/2/03

Not too hard using 55 wiz and 60 dru. Think any 55 plus dru and 1 other 55+ can do it. Tried solo but had to exodus after getting him to 40%.

Well after reading some of these post I was a little leary about going after him with just my 54 Druid and my hubby's 53 Mage, but we figured we'd give it a shot anyway.

Here's what we did:

*We both got KEI
*Since the MOB is a 51 druid, we loaded up on all of the resists (for the Mage's pet, too) lest he through a starfire our way
*Since he summons, the Mage cast an air pet to stun it and try to keep it from casting

The spawn times of the sets of 3 brownie scouts (LOC 0,0 near orc camp) was about 8-10 minutes. It took about 7 cycles of brownie scouts to spawn the tainted then the corrupted (I kept refreshing our buffs as they wore off). I'd recommend bringing some skill items to work on while you wait because it was boring.

Anyway, when the tainted spawned we were both close to full mana. I only snared it and gave it a free dot (ESVs) and let the pet do the rest. When the corrupted spawned, the pet attacked first and once he had established agro I snared/rooted him and tossed him a winged death & free dot then sat down to med. The pet, with a DS, did most of the work. I was only summoned twice (the meat shield-pet- was summoned 2-3 times) and I was only hit for a total of 364 points of damage. The air pet needed 1 superior heal but would have lived without it.

I think that the key was to have the resists high and to use the air pet to stun him so he couldn't cast. Not the only way to do it, but it was fairly simple. Good luck!

Greetings,

I found that the brownie Scouts spawn around every 15 minutes and 30 seconds. I haven't had a tainted pop yet, so I can't tell you on that.

Also, the Brownie Scouts on Karana pop exactly at POS 10, POS 10. Yes very close to 0,0. The scouts die very easy with a full group; almost to easy. Makes it a very boring camp.

Hope this helps you in some way.
