What is it with these guys. I watched two of them beat each other up and was able to kill the winner easily. I also saw "a wandering spirit" chase one down and kill it. Seems like you gotta be quick if you want to kill them
Originally the scarecrows attacked whatever was near them. But then one day, a few patches came along, and suddenly the scarecrows became docile and did not attack anyone near them. It wasn't until a short while back (around early 2004) that they fixed them and returned them back to their terrifying aggro aggressive state that they used to be. Bout time! That's what made hunting there so much fun so many years ago...
I attacked this guy with a nonmagical wepon and it said that he was invinsible.You might be able to attack him with a magical wepon but im not trying again and witnissing the horrer of him standing over my corpse singing old mcdaniald had a farm
These guys conned DB and W to my lvl 17 Ranger but were easy pickins while dual weilding a Pine Scout Longsword and Smoldering Brand (both magical; brand hits for up to 19 dmg + proc 14 fire, sword hits for up to 13). I have been rooting them and hitting them with Flame Lick then Burst of Fire (I usually shoot some arrows and hit with BoF again when taking on other MOBs just to soften them up, but arrows had no effect due to the magical weapon deal on this guy), then I wade in and kick his pumpkin head in. The guy from the Wizard of Oz could put up a better fight as I usually kill 2-3 before healing up and recharging.
Fought a few last night waiting for Cleet "get off yer d$%&$d a$$ and harvest" Miller for the lore hay and I got a bit of straw from one of these critters. Looks just like woven cord pic.
It's isn't no drop, lore, or magic. Worth a few gold but does it has a purpose other than agrivating my halfling hayfever?
It means your weapon was not magical but the scarecrow is only affected my magical weapons. Wisps are a common monster like that. Check a few upgrades for a 'MAGIC' tag and use it.

These are still conning dark blue to my 22 paladin and giving decent exp. I use Flash of Light, Yaulp, and Ward Undead for quick kills. Sense Undead to find the next one. It does not even know I exist until I cast magic or melee on it. Have jumped up two levels quickly since I started going to the Miller farm field.
