NPC Spawn Issue: Brownie Scouts and Pixie Jongleur

[Mortgage]

I believe brownie scouts shouldn't be in lesser faydark before the epics are released. I haven't found any comments about them prior to September 2000.

Here

well, I ran into a brownie scout tonight in lesser faydark. One hit and my lvl 30 druid was half dead. One more hit and i was watching the please wait message while I was returned to my bind point. Never had this problem before in lesser faydard,

The Brownie Scouts in Lesser Faydark are NEW. There have always been brownies in lfay, yes, but the wandering scouts are new-added in the Epic Quest patch

Here

Well the new critter is the Brownie Scout.

Be very careful in this zone. They have revamped it again and added some very nasty roaming Brownies.

Probably too late to matter for the current green server, but the wiki says that scouts might be the PH for Thistle Underbrush. I don't know if this is accurate for p99, but I definitely don't think it should be true.

Also, harder to prove, but I think Pixie Jongleurs are too common. I spent less than an hour there and almost every spawn became a Jongleur, but then I saw a couple comments implying they're much more rare.

Here

Tough to find though. I've only seen them near the pixie tower and never seen more than one at a time.

Here

They are an occasional spawn near the pixie tower in Lesser Faydark if you're killing the tricksters and pranksters.

I went pixie dust farming today and had killed about 100+ pixies when one spawned. Saw that it was amiable, so I let it be. Kept killing tricksters and pranksters, when another spawned on the opposite side of the Pixie Tower.

Edit edit: bah I mixed this up and you are saying lesser faydark, not greater faydark. Will search again.

I think you are right about the brownie scouts.

They are not listed in the Zone-NPC-List-Level.xls from Nov/Dec 1999.

My ref war got merked by one of these the other day, rating 5* for the benefit if my green siblings.

Whichever dev (Verant, not P1999) thought to put these in was an absolute ass. Huge easily detected giants and griffons that can be avoided is one thing, sow speed kos nigh invisible druids in a low vis zone for level 12s is another.

Brownie Scouts are not in the fictitiousname9 dumps either, which by virtue of the 'Emporer Crush' naming bug, I have dated to have been taken during Summer of 2000.
