skulking brutling location

I couldn't find the Brutling for hours. came across a guy with 2 corpses and looted off them. West of the giant camp there is a river if you follow it, on Brewall maps, there are Iksar bandit labels. Two are by the lake are at end of river and one up river toward giant camp. Go in-between those and find a waterfall. Sit there and they will path to you. NOTHING ELSE WORKED FOR ME.

on Mangler save your time and let your Iksar work on the human headband/sashes. or level up a ranger, bring it out and log on/off to track these things, because after 2 hours, cycling through 3 different locations listed i haven't seen ANY :(
Try not using magic weapons

Killed this guy a total of 6 times with my level 33 monk. First time was with a magic 2-hander, second through fourth time was unarmed with gloves (gloves were flagged as magic), fifth time was with no gloves on (monk fists flagged as magic after level 30), sixth dual wielding Survival staffs. Shattered choppers the first 5 times, intact on the sixth. So the check might be if whatever you're using is flagged as magic.
Indeed, do not use weapons on the kill

Playing with my lvl 23 necro (Iskar) in Warsliks, I tried Starwhisp's hint (on my map, it's labeled "Open Valley"). Killed everything for about 2 hours, saw one Skulking Brutling. Killed it with dots and my pet (armed), got shattered choppers. So I wandered north to the small lake, killed all the Iskar Lookouts/Bandits I saw, and BAM, got me a Skulking Brutling with intact choppers! Whoohoo!

Starwhisp's hint of

"base your searches around loc -2760, 3380. trust me."


worked for me. I killed multiple brutlings in this area over the course of 2 hours and finally got the drop. This was on a ranger (track was very handy)and after not seeing the mob in Frontier Mountains that is supposed to drop the intact brutling choppers after 2 hours of trying to spawn it.

At least in Warsliks I was seeing the mob.

04/30/07 - Killed all goblins around Iksar lake to SW of zone. Brutling spawned after about 20 mins. Killed him unarmed and intact choppers dropped first try. Easy as pie.

excellent info. I ran around this clear area near -2760, 3380, and just killed every mob for about 5 minutes. 1 runtling spawned. killed him. killed a couple more mobs, and a 2nd runtling spawned. killed him, and then a couple more mobs. Then pop goes the brutling! Very happy.

Excellent info. Went to location, first mob I saw was skulking, kill and loot. Done in 10 minutes, and 9 minutes of that was running.

# Jun 10 2005 at 11:22 AM Rating: Decent
Anyone have any new info on this? been camping em a couple of days now - haven't seen anything stuck at SW corner of fort. Many of em spawn in tunnels to dalnir (nvm turns out those are skulking brute's not brutlings) but no drops intact or otherwise (ok loot tho low end gems and plat). Roamers only pygme so far. Lots of choppers on those hehe.

Good spot
# Nov 26 2004 at 11:40 PM Rating: Good
If you want to save yourself the trouble of running around aimlessly looking for these guys you can sit at -2722, 2053 and one will wander into you and aggro if you're sitting. A bunch more wander the area too within line of vision.

Hopes this helps.

This is good info. 5 minutes after a server reset two runtlings and a brutling came strollin' by.

22 necro used a weapon, pet had a weapon, intact choppers

Pain in the friggin butt!

Finally got one to spawn. He popped close to the entrance of the tunnels to LOIO. Maelin server
Camped my druid by the bandit lake, jumped on early in the morning. Ran to giant for, killed one Goblin Bonecaster that was stuck in SW corner, turned around and killed a Goblin Hextracer. 2 minutes later the Skulking Brutling popped. But only one on track... Lured him back to bandit lake where i had camped my monk, finished him off and got the Intact Brutling Choppers.
Prior to this, i had camped the whole southwest corner of WW, clearing everything, including skulking runtlings that popped 2 at a time. Not once did i get the brutling to pop.
Hope this helps, and goodluck... frustration awaits =D

Location?
# Aug 08 2004 at 11:06 AM Rating: Decent
Has anyone seen these things in a while? If so, can I get a location where they frequent? I have been hunting for days, and no luck. :(

Thanks in advance.

Mystery Solved: The Location at the giant fort is accurate. In the SW Corner, they get trapped. Happy Hunting.

Mystery (possibly) solved
# Aug 05 2004 at 12:30 AM Rating: Decent
I may have inadvertantly solved the Brutling mystery ... someone posted that they thought the Bonecaster / Witchdoctors were PHers for the Brutlings. I found 7 of them clustered together stuck in the corner of the Giant Fort at loc -1400, 1500. There is just enough room between the two walls and a log pole in the corner for them to get stuck. As soon as I killed all of them ... BAM!!! ... 2 brutlings spawned.

Take that as you will ... but up until I killed these guys I didn't see any brutlings for a good 1.5-2hrs.

Enjoy.
They aint there now...

Well I just finished my 5th day in a row of camping every reported Brutling site in WW. Not only did I not find what I desperately needed (dem Intact Choppers..) I totally wasted near a full week. No spawns of ANY wandering MOBs of ANY kind in the entire zone. I think I reported about 10 bugs, from no quest MOBs spawning to not being able to petition a problem they did not think of in advance and provide for in the menus of the new system. (There is no entry for "other problem"). I burnt thru 5 stacks of bone chips trying to keep a pet handy (Could have used them to a much better purpose..)

Someone suggested to me that it might be more pathing / collision problems where they are stuck underground or in the rocks and trees, etc. So we brought in a Ranger to track them. Nada!! In the 2 hours we had the Ranger hunting absolutely no wandering MOBs of any kind. Giants and Goblins posted at the forts, yes. Goblins and Bandits in camps and lookout points, yes. All the "fixed" MOBs were there, but no Goblin Scouts, Watchers, Brutes, etc... Not even a sign of that bloody Goblin Messenger they just added.

Another example of fixing things by breaking the rest of the game worse.
How to get Brutlings out of the ground and walls
# Apr 10 2004 at 12:08 AM Rating: Decent
Did this today and got 2 brutlings out of the giant fort wall. Get someone with an AE spell and get as close to the mob as possible. Then nuke with AE and it will bring it out of the wall. Not positive on number that will come out but I got just 1 at a time. Spent 3 days trying to get them to spawn before I thought of this.
My Experience with this guy
# Mar 13 2004 at 6:59 AM Rating: Decent
Been around 2 years since I camped the Skulking Brutling, maybe they upped his spawn rate or i was just in the wrong place, but i spent around 8 hours in the SW corner of WW, mostly near the bandit lake just south of the OT zone (is where i read somewhere this was the place to find Skulking Brutling), never saw him there and gave up. So i decided to run from there through OT, to FM to find a group for exp in DL, (was in my mid 40's i think, i really slacked off on the shackle quests, and only in the last 6 months did i finish it and get the Tynnonium Shackle)
==>While running south to DL through FM, the Skulking Brutling!! of all things ran right in front of me, was running down the East side of FM and had just passed the LoIO zone. I immediately killed the ****** and had my intact choppers. Thule had smiled upon me =)
Since then i have never read or heard anywhere of anyone else getting him in FM, but i swear this is god's honest Truth.

Mass Brutlings Found.
# Jan 23 2004 at 8:55 PM Rating: Decent
Just an FYI: on January 23, 2004, after about 2 hours of tracking in the SW corner, and killing all the supposed PH, I decided to go near the Goblin Fort, and saw over ten brutlings on track. I killed three with my druid, just in case, and when I got my monk there to loot, all three had intact choppers. All three were a little to the east of the fort, near the water.

Oh, and one I killed with a dot, one with a nuke, and one with melee...so take from that what you will.
How to get em
# Aug 30 2003 at 10:29 PM Rating: Default
Go east of the bandit lake and hunt in the upper portion of valley and on sides of valley... it will spawn. DO NOT USE WEAPONS. USE FISTS ONLY. You will get INTACT choppers if you use FISTS, if you use weapons they WILL be broken.

# Sep 04 2003 at 1:31 PM Rating: Default
Untrue. I think it's entirely random. My ranger was running through Warslik's one day, got a brutling on track, tracked it down, killed it (WITH weapons) and it dropped intact choppers. Sadly, my monk was in HK and there was nobody else in the zone, so it rotted away.

i punched 3 to death so far with only shattered drops

Killed 2 Brutes. 1 with weapons, received shattered choppers, one with just fists, received intact choppers. Took 20 min. Killed Outrider and Skirmisher beforehand.

I've done this shackle twice now, soon to be 3 or 4 times. (Got my Shackle of Tynno and Whistling Fists)

The first time through, I went around killing brutelings with my weapons in hand. I got 13 shattered choppers. Getting severely frustrated, I started looking around, to see if it was a rare drop. I saw someone mention that you had to kill them hand to hand. I took off my weapons, and the very next one dropped intact choppers. Coincidence? Possibly.

Second time through, unequipped weapons, first kill, intact choppers.

Keep in mind the second time through I was level 54ish, so my normal h2h damage was fairly high.

Maybe it's unrelated, but why not try it anyway? It might just save you a 3-hour camp-fest, and if not, then you lost nothing by trying it ;)
Got it
# Jul 10 2003 at 9:10 PM Rating: Decent
as mentioned earlier ...
there is a valley -1800 +2800 it stretches until the giant fortress. there is a small hill from north to south inside the valley. this is the exact spot where they spawn.
i run back and forth inside the valley (not so much tree lag there ;) and killed everything in sight.
ph are goblin outriders and witchdoctors i think. only after i killed one of those a brutling spawned. also if you get bored you can make a roundtrip through the giant fortress.
it took me around 7h to get the intact ones. also it does not matter how hard you hit. engaged 2 with bare hands, and the last one with staff of shielding and steel ulak. first two had chattered, last one intact.
i should mention, that i saw one at 3500 -2000 between the goblin hut and the iksar hut. tried two camp there for a while, went back and forth between these two and got good exp and pp. if you need the sparring gloves then there is a good place to look for the pitfighter and the brutling. if you are around level 20-25, otherwise go to the goblin fortress at higher levels.

only thing i need now is the sash of a young ronin, i will let you know if i find one ;)
good luck to all the shackle of rock seekers

Go to the Lake
# Jun 01 2003 at 11:56 AM Rating: Decent
I did the bandit lake thing, it is at -1500, 4000. Just ran around and killed any Goblins I saw and got two skulking brutlings to pop within a half hour. The second one had the intact choppers. Both were found a bit south and east of the lake.
