ive seen brutes drop in the kurzik forest area so i assume they must drop in gold and +5 energy. It would only make sense since there has been a handful of + energy brutes and i doubt all of them came from that very short time they dropped in chapter 1.
well if that's true about the brutes then they must since gold +5 serpents drop on noob island.... makes sense they would much further on .... and I figured they did too cuz I've seen a few
i bought a few decent brutes from canthan players....they told me they're from factions....jsut that the drop rate is still uber rare..like brutes from prophecies..
