== What's Great About the Cave(s) ==

[[A Skulking Brute|Skulking Brutes]] are melee mobs with a low agro radius and fast (6:40) respawn time. There are two sets of brutes (2/3) in two separate but connected caverns.

Because they don't cast, they're easy to fight, and you can safely go AFK just outside their cavern without having to worry. Plus, with a < 7 min respawn, both the 2-spawn and 3-spawn caves can reasonably support a player.

Also, some brutes drop minor gems, eg. [[Ivory]] or [[Pearl]]s.

== Downsides ==

The main one is that it's popular: you'll often find either or both caves already taken.

== Entrance ==

The cave entrance can be found at {{Loc|Warsliks Woods| 3530, 3953, -100}}, but it can be difficult to find visually because of the Kunark trees.

I recommend following the northern shoreline until it reaches the wall, then backtrack just a bit, as the entrance is shortly before it. Make sure to look up at the mountain (ie. away from the water).

== Brute 2 (B2) ==

== Brute 3 (B3) ==

== Quad-Kiting ==

If both caves are free, quad-kiters can easily get four mobs (I recommend starting with all of B3, then getting 1 from B2; the B3 mobs will run through walls, so they won't get you when you head back to the entrance from B2).

If only one cave is available, you can add 1-2 mobs from outside (or just "quad" only 2/3 mobs). There are both forest giants and goblin warriors available outside who wander down near the water, but there is also a goblin caster (don't get him!)

=== Bunching the Kite ===
To "bunch" the mobs, run in circles in the area between the cave and the wall (it's largely mob free).

=== Killing a Quad Kite ===

To avoid forest mobs, run along the shoreline. However, be careful, as a few mobs do path near the water, and also the shoreline sometimes cuts inward (so if you're not careful you can wind up running into the ocean ... with a quad behind you!)

If you reach the far shoreline (very possible if not using [[Spirit of the Wolf]]) you can make a somewhat shallow circle (don't go too far up or you might get an add) to reverse course, and then kite back toward the cave.

=== Finishing the Quad ===

When the mobs reach <20% health they will stop following you, scattering in different directions. Most will wind up in the water, which makes it a hassle to finish them off.

I recommend first killing any >20% mobs leftover at the end of the kite (or at last getting them <20%), and then using nukes, roots, or {{:Solist's Icy Wand}} to finish the mobs (or at least prevent them from entering the ocean until you can kill them).
