sorry for a stupid question but why master brawler?

+5 speed and toughness, plus intimidate and warcry 2

Start off with intimidate until it sticks, then you can either do mind hit 1/2 and stack bleeds, or you can do headhit3. If she bleeds you, warcry, peace, and /firstaid. And if you're not speedcapped, be prepared to be there a long time, unless you have someone with you.

Now as to the foods to bring, get your normal doc/dancer buffs, and while waiting on those buffs eat a synth steak (so that way when you get to your target you should have no filling left from it), then travel to Dath and look around. Once you find it drink 1-2 brandies (depending on what buffs you have, and if your mind is high enough without them, you might want to save the last spot for a instant 400+ mind heal whilst drinking that second brandy), once your synth steak runs out eat the exo-protein wafers, they have only 5 fill and protect against 25% damage. You can also eat Thaktillo, depending on the defenses of your template. With Fencer x4xx(the Def Vs KD line) I didn't need thaktillo, but when dropping that line I noticed a huge difference, so thaktillo is optional.

Anything else I missed? Just post and I'll try to help you out with whatever else you might need.

I have brandy and steak, but no other food besides canape. Where do find those others to buy? Do I just get my mind buffed or do I get focus and willpower buffed as well?

I personally drink both brandys while waiting for the buffs, then youll have your +800 mind, and a half empty stomach by the time you get where your going. So you can down a mando wine (if your server has them yet, they're GREAT for tanking stuff, but suck for sustanined combat). Also, verciupi is awesome, esp the 50 filling stuff. Down one of those, thats +1000 ham (atleast on tempest), and then pop exo-protein wafers to keep your damage reduction up for 21 hits at 5 filling a pop.

Lots of the food is just different prefernces, some people swear by synth steak, others (like myself) like the less-filling alternate. I personally use canape only in emergencies, and muon if necessary for a +500 instant mind heal.

Yes, get all mind buffs, and you can also get duel dancer buffs if you get first one, then when the dancer starts the 2nd one keep watching, ask the dancer to stop dancing, run out of range, then when your first dance buff runs out, you have another one lined up already. *Note: this only works with either dance or music buffs, not both*


And in my opinion it would be best just to expirement with the foods that suit you best, the must haves are brandy/exo-protein/canape, also keep a pixie and muon out for emergencies. I don't think that vercupti would be that good, because it has 50fill, and it only lasts 7:30-8:00 minutes. But again it is all personal preference.

It took me about 3-4 elders whilst going with friends to be able to figure out how to solo them, I'm sure others just went out and did it the first time, but if you want to solo you might want to try grouped first, just so you get the hang of it. After you do start soloing, you have to pick your fights, if you have no stun protection run from anything above a spell weaver with a stun bat. Your buffs last a while, don't waste them trying to kill one elder, there are plenty more out there.

And about drinking both brandies, I only do that when I have my 52:00 brandy, and then I only drink it whilst leaving science outpost. I find that you only have 10-15 minutes left on brandy if you drink it during buffs. And you have to factor in the time it takes to find the Elders too...
