"Allied with Karana, Erollisi Marr and Rodcet Nife, and enemies with Bertoxxulous, Tunare, the Mother of All, rules the Plane of Growth. Tunare appears as a very attractive older humanoid female wearing flowing robes and a crown of vines and leaves. Tunare is very protective of what she considers to be one of Her finest achievements, the good elf races of Norrath. As part of an agreement with Brell Serilis and Prexus and in response to the arrogance of Veeshan in claiming Norrath for her own, Tunare created the High Elves and the wood elves of Norrath."

For all of the people who follow Tunare and have problems killing their Goddess I have listed some nifty alternatives in the posts under the Earing info. This deals primarily with Cultural Armour and the wis that it increases. Hope it helps. :)
As follower of tunare won't that ruin you're faction? And what is her faction for? I might be taking it for granted and then kill her and get stuck in not being able to do things like before.

Tunares sword is not a badass proc... the Proc kills the sword, Goldenrod, Sword of Ssra, or any of the Pally SK only 2handers from Ssra IE Mornfollow/Blindfore own it. It does have a sweet graphic though

But if you worship the goddess and slay her just to get the itmes, than you have forsaken yourself from yor goddess and are cursed. I believe the ebst way for you to get an item from her if you worrship her would maybe to do a quest for her or simply hire someone who doesn't worship her to get the item for you.
Tunare is no way 65... The tunare in the tree is yellow to 65, and after she is agroed and repops in the forest she is red to 65... im thinking level 70.
If you are a Paladin or Shadow Knight, she drops one of the best swords in the game, called a Petrified Heartwood Flamberge. Badass proc, uber stats, and sweet ratio. The other weapons she drops, besides Goldenrod aren't all that great though.
Well, as a monk I would have to say the weapon drop is fantastic if you are lucky enough to get one ~ the Fist of Nature is a fantastic hand to hand weapon. It has an amazing ration, incredable stats, and a proc that not only does 160 damage, but roots your target. The root is great for a monk that still likes to solo a little.
The only thing that would be sweeter would be if it had a dd/snare instead of dd/root. It would be fun to try to snare/Instill Doubt soloing... not that my ID ever works much, even with the skill maxed out :-)

(I started typing this on the Braid of Golden Hair item link, but also posted the comments here.)
In the short time that I have used this weapon, BRAID of GOLDEN HAIR, coupled with my swifty, I have found it to be a wonderful weapon. It is not the best weapon ever created, but it is certainly one of the better ones that that can be won.
The damage ratio is lovely, and the proc is a wonderful additional tool to maintain aggro for camps that kill level 45-50 type mobs for exp groups where a real MA class, such as a warrior, Paly, SK is required.
In a MA group scenario, especially with an underequiped MA, however, the weapon does seem to create a bit more aggro than I would hope for -- Not as bad as Earth/Aggrocaller, but still noticable :-(
The stat modifiers in str, sta, agil, and wisdom, although not HUGE, do add 20 stat poiints in areas that us ranger types appreciate. The 50 hp and mana are bonus points that are icing on the cake.
Hence, I have found this weapon to be used best by the ranger in solo melee situations doing the AA exp grind, in areas where it is a bit more difficult to arrow kite, such as Velks lab.
As for a couple other questions listed on the forum page, I will take a smack at them.
A ranger is very useful in POG. A Tunare ranger who wishes to preserve his faction can still be in the exp group by "finding mobs" -- which is critically important if you want to kill Tunare. To help -- use your track sort distance feature and SOW your tank type partner. Have him "auto follow" you while you run to the closest mob on your track. He aggros mob and you both run back to camp, where your group kills the mob. Repeat 300 or so times and you will have cleared the zone. It will be benificail to change your hunting location from time to time as you thin out the mobs, or the pull times will be rather long. Basically, kill all the mobs in one area and then run along to the next area to clear.
Clearing the zone is important. Please note that when you aggro Tunare, she wll begin to summon all the remaining mobs in the zone (save the warm lights) to assist her in killing you. So you need to kill everything else in the zone first.
When killing Tunare, be wary of her knockback. There are several methods to getting around it, but will let you figure those out by yourself. Knockback is not fun :-( so mind your aggro. Hug your buddy and hold on is all I can say about that.
As for /q -- yeah it works, but for the most part, if you are in PoG and are not extreamly careful about using your uber ranger bufies (SoW, CoE, SoN CoP, etc ..) you will more than likely take a faction hit along the way. Remember 3 strikes and you are out, so Tunare rangers ought to complete their little helm quest before doing anything else in this zone.
There is some discussion on faction issues and completion of some epics. I have heard that you really ought to complete at least the first half of your epic prior to killing in this zone, as these faction hits can pose issues with certain people you will have to deal with. I am not privy to that knowledge, so I will let people with greater wisdom than I to comment on such things.

His gear is ok, but by no means great, elysian stuff is soso. But you happen to have every single best item in every slot for enchanters, hmmm. I know there ARE people with the gear you list out there, but they are very few and far in between.
Ummm that looks a lot like a bone handled scimitar to me... in which case yes, I have heard of a druid fighting with a weapon like that, and as before mentioned, she is not a high elf. She is a god.
Perhaps the fact that she is a goddess means that she transcends the restrictions of mortal beings? She is not a high elf, she is the creator of the elven race. I hope you worship Karana heretic! ;)
who ever it was that wanted to know when her pet casts silence..
One of the pets ( both look alike so have to figure out wich one it is) casts silence when you agro him.
ya can kill the pets first and do tunare after it.
also i read a post here that Tunare has zone wide silence??
NOT true she doesnt cast silence she casts single target knock back with root. the only other tree that casts silence is Ail the Elder. Tunare is a perm rooted mob and hits for i believe it was 900 dmg or so.(could be 950.. dun member it)
there are tactics to get rid of these mobs wich cast silence, but ya will have to find out for yerself. but ya can kill the whole zone with 40 peeps.
