The Bandits in Greater Faydaek Range from lvl 5-13 or so it seems. All depends on your class I have noticed. They give you rusty weapons, rations, and ocassional gem. This Lowers your Faction with Fizzlethorpe
if you ever get something on you in the karanas you cant handle go to a bandit camp or tower You can faction up with the bandits by killing gnolls in HH
