Yes, he pops at night, at least he does on Erollisi Marr server. Waiting with a friend for the necro to show up, had the right set up and the right time for that (12:AM Norrathian tim), when who should come shooting down the hill than ole Thistle himself. Hung around the top step of the obelist and made a nuisance of himself until my bud, 42 druid Human, says "Get 'im". So we did. Lost the necro, maybe, because of him. She killed and looted him, got the braids, powder, brains AND the rune of ivy. LOL! And I'm the RANGER! No worries, no harm, no foul. He's there and the next I am, he's mine! )

one more thing I think I can confirm he doesnt pop and night so go do some ports till around 8 am if you kill him near or after nightfall

As a 29 Druid I was able to take him out 5 times. He dropped the BIC 3 times and the mistletoe powder twice. Also brownie parts and a pearl and jade shard as well as rune. He hangs around the rangers. at neg 300 1200 so you should get him on track there if hes popped. I find that he will try to root, uses Ignite, and Stinging swarm (multiple times, which amuses me) at 650hp or so with buffs and resist fire up (important) i am usually down to 30% life by the end and 20-40% mana depending on ressist (150 wis) never had an add but imagine scouts will assist. Also be careful of Equestrille, if shes on track u might think twice about engaging. Never had her help, but she randomly has HT'ed me several times for 401 as i explored the zone. Wolf form is recommended, as brownies are not KOS to it, but some dwarfs or gnomes or something are so watch out. I think that is all. Hope this helps anyone questioning thier ability to kite Thistle.

I entered lfay from the gfay zone, and fired up tracking, 5 minutes later I had the Cords in hand and ported out. The hardest this guy hit me for was 29hp, and I used about 2 bub of mana to take him.

I am a 35 druid on Vazaelle Server with 182 WIS, judging by the other posts I am guessing he would be easy for me. So my questions are, could I solo him easily, and would there be any risk of me dieing. Also, does anyone know the average price of these on Vazaelle? Thanks

You should be able to take him. Just be in wolf form and buffed and follow him around with track. He stops from time to time. So when he stops in an area that is clear from aggressive mobs, snare and root him, then blast away. You should be fine.

I was fighting Thislte for the forth time ( got killed by a brownie scout 2 times and killed thistle the other 2 ) when all of a sudden I got harm touched for 401 damage! I looked to see who cast, only thistle and I were showed up in my text box. Weird. Is there a level 39 or 40 sk in the zone?

yeah that corrupted horse, its pretty easy with 2 people in your party 40+. My friends killed it last night in search of ole' thistle butt here, and he didn't appear on track, even at the ranger station.

I'm a 20 Druid, and my wife is a 23 Pally.Is it at all possible to do this quest at this lvl?

how much do the cords sell for cause i just bought mine for 200pp was that a good or bad deal?
200pp is perfectly normal for the cords. Anything between 200-300pp can be considered a fair price.

I tried him at 26 (druid) today, left my top 2 buff slots open to dispell snare and dot, allmost had him meleeing and whirling wind (fast to interupt his heal casting) along with the regular dot / nuke. Soo close - but Died. Immediately memed a couple spells, tracked and finished him nekid. He didn't drop the braid, I tried again, this time kiting, but went oom with both of us at a quarter health (147 wis). I wasn't interupting his heals well enough without melee. Would have been easy though with a tank assisting.

Ol Thistle packs a punch, but no match for 7 or so combusts at lvl 29 druid. Still no cords after 3 kills. Got worked by the horse really good though. Still hoping.

Soloed this little ******* at 29 with a few cleric buffs to up my HP. Wasn't too bad, but he took me down to one bub of health. Just be sure to cast Resist Fire on yourself and have some decent magic resist. He will despell you and nuke you most of the time and may also try to root you. I just kept up my melee and dual weilded to interupt his spells while continuasly casting Ignite. Also be sure to snare him so he doesn't try to run away because he is fast. He dropped the rune of ivy and mistletoe powder for me.
If you are a warrior trying to solo him, make sure you have your resists up and have a ranger track him for sure because he can run all over the zone. Good luck. :)

Hail all,
I play a woodelf druid as an alt, and I was wondering would I be able to kill him at lvl 24 for the cords? Thanks,

Think a 34 war could solo this little bugger, or his friend? I need cash, and cords seem good for that. Heh, maybe even hire a ranger to track him for me :P

He is always up no matter what.. youll find him around 500, 500. But the fun part was watching him die.. lol.. anyway.. i didnt get him on the first try but someone camping him before hand gave me the ivy cords. Then he popped and I killed him and just got 4 items... brownie parts, misletoe powder, rune of ivy, and a page 490. Loads of fun.
Took 2 firestrikes and a dot to whip his ***. He will disspell you, but still buff anyway. I managed to keep my fire resist and regen up. The dot only made me lose 1hp bub... no big deal.

I've been blasting Thistle for a few days now (doing Tunare Symbol Quests) and there is no faction on him or Bracken, but there is on Ivie Bramblefoot and any other brownie.
faction is 'Brownie'. not KoS to wolf form, started indifferent, dropped to apprehensive when I killed Ivie.

I killed Thistle four times before I finally got the cords, and here's how I did it.
Each time, as soon as I zone into LFay, I put up wolf form, skin like steel, and resist fire. I med up till I have about 4 bubs of mana, then I begin tracking. Each time, he was never on track right at the zone, so I went west. He eventually pops up on track right around the middle of the zone.
When I see him, I immediately ensnare him. He usually casts ignite before he runs toward me, and I cast Combust on him until he's dead (he doesn't resist much.. I usually cast it around 5-6 times? I can't remember for sure). I melee, to interrupt his spells, and the DS doesn't really bother me. He usually casts Creeping Crud about halfway through the fight. He tried to root me also, but out of the many times he attempted, he only succeeded twice. Root doesn't stick long, either... maybe 30 seconds.
When he dies, I usually have 1-2 bubs of mana left (at 163 wis) and about half-life (I have approx. 730 hp with SLS).
The first time I got him, he popped up again right as I had finished medding. After I killed him the second time, I waited around for 15-20 minutes and he didn't respawn, so I left the zone. I zoned in yesterday, killed him again, waited around again, didn't respawn. Today, I killed him and he finally dropped the cords.
Granted, I could have camped him for hours to get the cords, but I get impatient. ;) If you don't want to camp him, just zone in once in awhile, and he'll probably be there. The zone is fairly empty except for people traveling to and from Mistmoore.. I have only seen someone else kill Thistle once in the time I spent there.
Hope this helps. :)

Hunted this guy for oh, about 1 1/2 minutes (long enough for me to hit track 3 times), killed him and guess what he dropped? guess, go on guess, no,no, yep Braided Ivy Cords! My first break, and probably only ever.

I would say no. I'm lvl 31 and I was sitting at the GFay zone in LFay foraging for morning dews when he popped right in front of me - conned blue. And man does he run fast! I wasn't able to get a snare off until he stopped to buff himself.
I was able to take him down (and not aggro the pained unicorn, whom I had seen a few minutes early), but I had 1 bub of health left. No cords, but then I wasn't expecting to see ole Thistle either. =)

I was here for my Warden of Tunare quest at level 20 camping the necro. Once, Thistle ran right by me incredibly fast and I wasn't even in wolf form. I was surprised it didn't attack me. I hear he doesn't have any faction hits, but then I also hear that he is aggressive. What is it? Maybe I was hiding. I'm thinking about coming back to lfay to camp this guy. I'm a 25th druid now. If i buff, snare, root, nuke, nuke, nuke, nuke, nuke, nuke, nuke. Will i survive?

I was camping Ghoul Boss for my ranger yesterday at undead tower. Took 2 hours to get him to spawn. In that time, Thistle showed up on track 6 times. He was in all different directions so I can't tell you where to find him, just use that as a starting point. Hope it helps.
