Every robot/minotaur/steamsuit mob i have killed in Steam Factory, Fort Mech, Dragonscale, and even MMM has so far given the - Minions of Meldrath + Brownie Rebels faction hits/ gnome mobs do not and Gyrospire mobs don't seem to either oddly enough. Just thought i would give you that heads up.

Not listed above, so from killing a steamsuit in the Steamfactory:

Your faction standing with Minions of Meldrath could not possibly get any worse.
Your faction standing with Brownie Rebels got better.
Your task 'Let My People Go' has been updated.
You gain experience!!
a steamsuit's corpse shudders to a halt.
You slash a steamsuit for 323 points of damage.
You have slain a steamsuit!

What benefit does raising brownie faction have? Do you have acces to RK II spells, tomes, augs, etc like the DSH faction quests?

the easiest and fastest quest to do is "leave my people alone" , get it from Lymrit 1 room over from Karri.

by the way ... gratz me on finally getting ally ! server first on zek ~ and yes , nature's burning wrath and nature's blazing wrath are seperate timers and stack , i killed a fella yesterday by only casting 4 spells :)

<~~ happy druid

ok , so now that i dont have to worry about enemy druids training me and whatnot at meh camp , here is how you solo to ally as a druid without having to kill thousands of minotaurs : 2 camps that i found , if u find a better one gratz :) , the first one is ABOVE the foundry , i.e. the place where foundry workers spawn for sublime task . evac pull 1 mob from east side then same for west side and after that is single pulls till you have all 10 .

after that go to the far northeast corner of the zone , pull out your pet , walk him right on top of the steamsuit beside door , doesnt matter which side , then tell him to gaurd . run out to the corridor and wait till the wandering mob paths away and sic the pet on the steamsuit and root him as he runs around corner , easy single . do the same for the other side , then snare pull the guy on left , then evac pull the remaining three if you can kill so fast that the first mob hasn't respawned by then .

thats it ! rinse and repeat 40-50 times and you will be ally and holder of the best pvp spell in eq for druids , gratz ~

3 quests that you can do at the same time to raise faction here :

1) Browniebot
2) Leave my people alone
3) supplying the resistance

for completion of #1 and #3 , kill mobs such as a steamwork trooper and steamwork shock trooper found across the entire zone , they randomly drop the items you need. troopers drop pieces for browniebot , shock troopers drop pieces for supplying the resistance .engineers also drop some pieces but they have a very nasty fd proc dd so i have given up on killing them , an unlucky roll of the dice with these fellas is a free port to bind .

for completion of #2 , you either need to a: bring a nearly perfect group , or b: be a very skilled soloer. killing mobs that con red to lvl 80 , have over 200k hp , and cannot be single pulled by conventional methods , makes for a interesting camp . on a side note they give 20% xp per kill and one camp is by evac point , so if you are boxing you can leave them at 5%ish hp , grab aggro on a box , evac your druid/necro or w/e you are using to solo them , then stack up 5 or 6 at low life and pop lesson and kill for a quick 3 or 4 aa's

as for the faction itself ... well .. i have done about 12 missions so far , as well as killing 1500+ minotaur miners in ds hills , and i killed the gyrospire named about 5 times each give or take , and i am indifferent .

best of luck people -_- , this is easily the hardest factioning i have ever done in eq . when i get ally i will post roughly what it took me to get there .

a clockwork overseer in dragonscale hills also give a + hit to brownie rebel faction
