Brewfest 2015


I don’t usually do these but because I’m having computer issues I have issues with writing my articles…  So, this is one I could do without pictures! 
 
This is also me trying to not fall too behind in my content posting-I know views suffer for it!  So please continue to be patient with me, i'll try and post more!  :D

 

For this post I’ll mainly be explaining briefly with hints, tricks, etc.

 

 

Ram Racing:

 

Idea is easy.  Don’t kill the ram and get 2 coins per barrel delivered. 

 

Hints:  Hit the apple barrels to clear fatigue stacks and as such keep yourself going at the FASTEST speed possible!

The one at the fork in the road is a MUST hit but you can choose to hit the one in town or at the midpoint to keep it from being a close shave.  I prefer the midpoint and the fork for mine (On Ally Side) and just keep it in the red.

 

 

 

Preach for the Brewers:

 

This one is easy with a 4 minute limit as well but nerfs have made it MUCH easier than before.  All you have to do is run by the banners in Ironforge/Orgimmar to promote one of the brewers.

 

Take a Break:  While in older days you had to return on the ram to finish, you now only have to be on the ram to promote, once you’ve hit everywhere, just dismount and fly back!  You don’t even have to turn in 4 minutes or less either!

 

Hint:  Know the clicks.  I highly suggest keeping in the yellow the whole time and being very careful with stacks.  I find a click every 3 seconds or so will keep it steady in the color while rapid clicks switch it faster.  You shouldn’t hit 100 before hitting everywhere if you keep it steady and you won’t have to alternate between speed and a trot (or worse, crawl).

 

 

Bonk the Robot:

 

Grab a free brew off the table, aim at the robot by turning towards it, and drink.  It’ll throw it for you!  Easy...  Just make sure ya aim.

 

 

Invasion of the Black Dwarves!

 

Brewfest is under attack!  Take the Bonking practice and use it to repel the dwarves!

 

There will randomly be mugs of brew out to grab.  Get them, drink them, spinning into the dwarves!

 

This event pops hourly I believe.  You don’t have to join the get the gear, but ya look like an ass if ya don’t try to help!

 

Direbrew

 

A queue with daily rewards where you’ll kill a boss for currently 670 trinkets.  The barrel you’ll get will have a chance at mounts, a 670 mace, and coins.

 

For the fight you’ll quietly AoE down adds, melee avoid getting disarmed, and healers watching for a 7 second stun that can hit any player including you and the tank!  Plus a 5 second one.  Oh... And mole machines toss you abit.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

Well, that’s all the dailies!  Now the quest.

 

 

Pink Elekks!

 

Grab your beer googles (or a lot of beer) and take advantage of those mage ports (or your Shrine/Ashran ports!) and hit Darn, Exodor, and Stormwind!  Objective?  Catch the pink elephants from Dumbo’s dreams!

 

Tip:  There is a portal next to hellfire one in Darn and Exodor that connects the two...  Why wait on the boat? 

 

Tip:  Save Stormwind for last, then you can take a fun drunk trip down the tram tunnel!  The tram is ALWAYS fun when your drunk and dancing!!

 

This quest awards 40 coins but no longer a pet it seems.  The pet is now 200 coins!

 

 

 

 

Stein! 

 

Yap, get your Purple stein if you didn’t in the last few years they’ve been offering that color…

 

 

Ram Racing PreQuest:

 

Trot, Gallop, Cancer.  For 8 seconds.  Just keep the stead 3 second clicks for each one.  I suggest starting slow then going up, but meh.  It’s your choice.

 

After this you’ll learn the course for barrel runs where you get 4 barrels in 4 minutes, No coins per barrel.  Same Idea though.

 

 

 

Wolpertinger!

 

It does not linger, it runs.  So you get drunk and try to catch them with nets!  These you still get as pets though.  No coins though.

 

Direbrew-Once a Year Barrel

Repeatable yearly on everyone, gives 40 coins and must be looted of the bosses corpse.  Done!

 

 

 

Toys/Pets/Items

 

There is TOO MUCH to get on one character alone!  If you have none of it, you’ll be hard pressed if you use only one character.

 

Realistically… You can get 200 coins in about 2-3 days if you do everything to the best of your ability.   So I suggest you take some alts and work on get 2-3 items per character to split it up.  If you have an abundance of alts, get one per alt instead and you’ll have them all in two days!

 

If you need achievements:  Get the hat, chest, and boots on ONE character, you can’t send those.  Now, you can’t blame me if you do that...

 

 

Achievements:

 

Disturbing the Peace

Go to Dal, get smashed (it’ll tell you you’re completely smashed), /dance WHILE wearing the three brewfest items that will take 350 coins to get.  You CAN NOT use the goggles to be drunk because there is a hat.  The where does not matter either.

 

Almost Blind Luck

Get a mage or priest friend to help you safely fall (you have to land to get the achievement) and wear your beer goggles.  Done!

 

 

Brew of the Year

This one will take a year to do, naturally.  Get a membership to the Brew club via vendor and then sample the brews they send monthly in the mail!  Easy as that but not required for the Title.

 

Brew of the Month

Goes hand in hand with above, you get it for joining the club!

 

Strange Brew and The Brewfest Diet

Two different Achievements but they are the same thing.  Buy the listed foods and brew and down them for the achievement(s).  All sold by the local vendors of brewfest!

 

Does your Wolpertinger Linger?

 

Do the quest to get your pet and boom!  Easy as that.  Quest listed above!

 

Have Keg, Will Travel

Get a mount from the daily boss kill or just buy the hops to make your mount brewfest-y!

 

Direbrewfest

Kill the holiday boss, Direbrew!  You probably did that already.

 

Down with the Dark Iron!

You’ll get this for doing the daily to collect the cog from the invasion, as listed above!

 

 

 

Well, I know it was brief but I hope yall enjoyed and will be Brew Masters soon!
