So I'm in my lower lvls and I'm doing my newbie armor quest when suddenly I read the list of ingredients and brownie parts, brownie leg, and a brownie brain shows up...

Well a few lvls have passed from then and I'm going to Lfay to get my thicken mana line of spells... I cast Illusion: Earth Elemental on me and cast Benevolence on one of the brownie guards...

And what do I get... NOTHING!!! not even death! they wont sell nor will they kill.

So now I'm thinking of starting a druid or another enchanter and this time there will be no killing of the brownies...

Is there nothing that will raise your faction with these little guys?

Are these lil terds really evil in game terms?

Look i have the lvls of the brownies for gfay lfay SF and yes they are in TAA DAA BB now but it is just one and he is lvl 4 in lfay Brownies are from lvl 4 to lvl 55 in gfay they are ALL lvl 4 druids with lvl 5 druid spells in SF there is 1 who is lvl 4 with lvl 1 druid spells the ones in LFAY are hardest at their camp as you range farther away from the camp the less there are and the lower the lvl (EXCEPT FOR THE ROAMING ONES) so if in LFAY and see a bunch o brownies at a tree RUN YOUR ASS OFF

oh and that IS bull about the high elf because i am a high elf and they dont like me never have. maybe its a specific religion that they dont mind if you are a high elf, being an enchanter i am agnostic.

IT has NOTHING to do with being a High Elf! My High elf is still threatining to the Brownies. The only people they like is Druids in wolf form

yes i know they are a pain everyones scared of these lil things but ive just recently learned something that may be of interest to everyone . correct me if im wrong though. two friends and myself were doing the 4 bandit sisters quest in Lfay and we had all gotten our set of beads and were heading back when out of nowhere ... yes a brownie cam up and rooted my friend i tried to wack it before it could cat summin but didnt stun it at all. killed one of my friends(wood elf druid) and myself (vah shir rog) but oddly enough didnt kill our other friend (high elf cleric i believe) anyways she never ran. actually she ended up dragging our corpses to the zone for us because they wouldnt let us anywere near them. and none of those times did they attack our high elf friend, basically if u want to be good friends with them becoam a high elf

Hehe, I read all these posts and laughed, cause I've been through it all. I'm a person who is obsessed with bards, made 5 different ones in the future, all wood/half elves (DOWN WITH HUMANS!) and those little buggers scare the living daylights outta me. Even with MM drums they can root and snare ya and make quick work outta ya, so if you see "A brownie outcast begins to cast a spell", run the hell outta there!

I get along with brownies quite well. We sit around, drink a few beers and shoot the breeze. We even laugh at you who have died trying to suck up..Good luck fellow travelers.

Ok I only was a lvl 4 enchanter. And I decided to go exploring with a cleric friend. So we went into Lfay. Didn't think anything could hurt us. We spent about 30mins in there killing the wasps and the wolfs. (Lucky us din't even meet a shadow dude )So we were looking for more wasps and stuff. When I heard my friend so HELP then I turned around and I saw her fall. I was like WTF? Suddenly a little brown dot soomed up to me and then your body compulse with lighting you take 243 Damage

LOADING PLEASE WAIT...

Then I got pissed and I got my corpse with invis. Then like 1 month later. I created a woodelf ranger. So I was walking near the bandit camp looking to track stuff, when a brownie scout appeared on track. I was so freaking scared, realising that like there were brownies here TO?? But then I noticed that it was green, I tracked it and I killed the little mofo in one kick. And I got some brownie parts ) So now I'm pretty happy with my little sweet revenge.

I have a lvl 45 ranger, and a lupine dager, I also have the tolan's BP, So I can teleport there, Only thing holding me back are thoes little vile creatures. I'll admit in Gfay I saw one, so I killed it!
What you all think I should do? Befour I port get my lupine dager to proc for Greater wolf form, Then teleport there. So I'm not KOS. Or wait till im higher lvl so If i do get attacked I can whip thoes little suckers!
PS: Good luck on the chacolate "evil grin"

I'm convinced they hate everyone.
I remember taking my (then) 11 paladin dwarf in to LFay to go to Steamfont and getting lost. I walked around a corner past a building and <splat> one hit and that was it. I've never gone back. Taught me to leave at home expensive items I didn't need at the time ;)

Heh.... if ya got track just west of kelethin is a breeding ground for lvl 1-3 brownies i have killed them many times over and about 1 in 3 has brownie parts (lowers faction, but I was KoS to begin with)

I have NEVER had Alliance resisted by ANYTHING except a damn brownie guard. Around level 12 I tried alliance on one. I lasted long enough for him to zip over to me. Man those little suckers are fast. Little brown streak. SPLAT. One melee round.

"Wow, Alliance can be resisted? Gee, I didn't know that."
LOADING PLEASE WAIT.

I still cringe a little when I cast benevolence on all those other quest NPCs, like Clurg.
No longer do I believe it's totally safe.
But since then nothing at all as ever resisted and erased me, and I do a lot of quests.

Heh the Kael giants don't count, if you've read my posts about engraved bone pauldruns...They don't resist. They just decide to erase you anyway sometimes. Or used to...it seems lately they're more predictable. It could be I've just learned the exact ritual that works for that quest, and as long as I don't deviate I don't get whacked.

Anyway I advise young enchanters against using Alliance to try to get into Brownieville.
Be patient, wait for elemental illusion. Or if you know the running tree trick, use that, once you have Illusion:Tree at level 16.

The thicken mana line's not good for much anyway, so far. Not for anything you need to do before you're high enough to get the spells. Wu's gauntlets? (yawn)

I think it is very sad that in order to be a master baker you have to be totally powerful enough to kill these little twerps. The weak "A Brownie Scout" that you see in GFay are so pathetically rare that you can spend days and only get 2 or 3 brownie parts. Then if you go into the next zone as anyone under a level 50 you get your butt kicked. That's about the same as making all "hide" bearing animals in their 50's so tailors can't make leather armor.

If you go into the village or around it in wolf form you will not be Kos. I take my 43rd lvl druid in there in wolf form and it works fine.

These things are EVIL!!! One day while I was running to GFay from MM, one of the knee-high boogers DoTed me then just stood there and watched me die. It took about 10 sec for me to throw in the towel, but it looked like it had a bit of fun watching me die.

Well, the only way to get the Thicken Mana line of spells is from the Brownie Merchants. When the first time you can do this yourself?? Level 20 or 24. Alliance won't work - All I get is "a brownie glares at your threateningly. Using Minor Illusion, you can bump faction to apprehensive or indifferent, so Alliance might work... but you cant get close enough to the merchants that way, becuase Minor Illusion and Illusion: Tree both Immobilize you! The solution: find someone that can assume wolf form... but be warned: most of the powergamer druids on my server (Lanys) have spent several levels hunting the brownies, and are therefore KoS. You can definitely get the spells at level 24 with Benevolence and Illusion: Earth Elemental. It might be possible at level 20 with Benevolence and Illusion:Tree or Minor Illusion. Good luck!

Watch out for these little nasties. I believe they hate all races. The only way to get in that Im aware of is in wolf form, or in the form of an elemental if you happen to be an enchanter.

the lvl range on the brownie gaurds went up when kunark came in.
the gaurds are now red to a lvl 51 pally friend of mine.
i swear verant doesn't want us to have chocolate..
