Magma Brute

Hits to kill	7 hits
Aggro range	8 tiles
Contact damage	2 health sections per hit
Combat XP	350 XP (Lvl 2 Sword) · 367 XP with Guild bonus
Drops	Brute Horn (1 in 5 kills) · Gold 1–10 (1 in 500)
Notes	Three Magma Brutes roam the arena simultaneously. Respawn has been lengthened from the original 30 seconds (exact new timing TBD).

Magma Brutes are large hostile mobs found in Emberstone. They are the zone's main combat encounter and the only source of Brute Horn drops. Do not confuse them with the cosmetic Magma Brute Pet — that pet is no longer obtainable through gameplay and is only available on the Marketplace. Magma Brutes give the highest open-world Combat XP of any mob in Kintara — more than Wild Dragon and significantly more than Wild Zombie — and now also drop Gold.

Does not flee	Engages until killed or player leaves range
Respawn time	Lengthened from the original ~30 seconds — exact new timing not yet confirmed
Active at once	3 Magma Brutes roam the arena simultaneously

Update: Magma Brute respawn time has been increased — noticeably longer than the original 30 seconds. This was done to give solo players (and fishers working the zone) a real window to operate without brutes stacking up. Exact new respawn figure hasn't been confirmed in-game yet; update this page once tested.

Drops and rewards

Magma Brutes roll each of the following independently on kill — a single kill can yield Brute Horn, Gold, Medium Scroll, and a pet chance at once.

Reward	Drop rate	Notes
Brute Horn	1 in 5 kills	Used to buy Demon Chests at the Chest Vending Machine.
Gold	1 in 500 kills	1–10 Gold when it drops. Rolled on top of Brute Horn and pet chances.
Medium Scroll	1 in 1,500 kills	Halved from the previous 1 in 750. Unique quest scroll with 5 material deliveries + 2–3 bonus tasks. Pays 15–28 Gold when redeemed to Maelor the Scrollbinder.

Update: Medium Scroll drop rate here has been halved, from 1 in 750 to 1 in 1,500. Giant Scorpion (1 in 1,000) and Venomweaver (1 in 500) both now beat Magma Brute for Medium Scroll farming.

Taming

Magma Brutes are strictly hostile and cannot be tamed.

Tips

• Bring Health, Shield, and Strength Potions from The Alchemist — Emberstone is a PvP zone and contact damage is heavy at 2 health sections per hit.
• Use a Lvl 2 Sword for double Combat XP per kill — the most efficient way to grind Combat at high levels.
• Three Magma Brutes are always active, with a longer respawn than before — solo players and fishers now get a real window instead of brutes stacking back-to-back.
• Brute Horn drops at 1-in-5 — expect roughly one horn every 5 kills while farming here.
• Gold drops at 1-in-500 for 1–10 Gold — a rare bonus on top of your Brute Horn farming, not a reliable Gold source on its own.
• If you're farming for Medium Scrolls specifically, Giant Scorpion and especially Venomweaver now have better odds than Magma Brute.
