World of Warcraft: Guide to Brewfest
September 3rd 2010 03:14
Since the start of world events in World of Warcraft, one of the more popular ones has always been Brewfest. This event that takes places in the fall is all about the good brew and filling food. Here is a basic guide to Brewfest to help make sure you do not miss out on the finer points of this World of Warcraft event.
The Brewfest resembles a modern day Octoberfest where participants are encouraged to drink and eat well beyond their normal standards. In order to help your character follow this tradition, there are several vending stalls setup at the Brewfest locations, outside the walls at Ironforge and Orgrimmar.
Each area will have three brew vending stalls that will several brews for the various character levels. Two of the stalls will sell specific faction brews while the third stall will offer ogre brews.
Just like any good brew, these festival brews will be alcoholic and provide either a well fed buff or refresh your character’s mana pool. The brews are not expensive and there are some wild creations available for the various levels of characters who visit. Just a little warning, do not try to stock up because some of the Brewfest brews disappear when the event is done. As an added bonus, you will receive the Achievement, Strange Brew, if you sample each of the Brewfest brews.
In case you were feeling a bit full on the brews, your character can sample yummy food samples from the other three vendor stall. You can find a wide array of bread, cheese, and sausages to sample for a few coins. Just like with the brews, when you sample all the vendors have to offer, your character will earn the Brewfest Diet Achievement.
Beyond the samplings your character will partake in during the Brewfest, there are several quests they can complete once they located the Brewfest location.
Each day during the Brewfest, at 6:15am and 6:15pm, server time, the respective faction Brewfest representative will Tap the Keg at the center. If your character happens to be there, they will receive a Brewfest Exhaustion Buff, which is a 10% bonus to experience earned from killing monsters.
Your character has the chance to earn a Brewfest Stein when they complete the Souvenir Quest chain. Not only does this Brewfest Stein allow you to drink a few of the brew selections for free, but it does allow your character to select a brew beyond their level. There is one drawback, after you drink it, your character will immediately vomit.
Aside from the brew stein, your character can earn Brewfest tokens to help them purchase special items, like Brewfest clothing. Several of the quests your character can complete for Brewfest tokens involve a racing ram mount.
If you want success with the Racing Ram, there are a few things you need to remember. The rams have five speeds that can be changed by using the reins to encourage the ram to speed up. After a few clicks on the reins, your ram will pick up speed and advance to the next level. If you do not click on the reins, your Ram will begin to slowdown.
When you reach Canter or Gallop speed with your ram, you will receive a debuff, Ram Fatigue. You will need to keep a close eye because this debuff stacks and once it reaches 100, your ram will be exhausted and slow down to a walking pace for 15 seconds.
Lastly, there are two special mounts your characters can acquire from the Brewfest event. You can earn the Great Brewfest Kodo or the Swift Brewfest Ram. In order to obtain these special mounts, your character will need to venture into Blackrock Depths and defeat Coren Direbrew, who is summoned similar to the Headless Horseman.
The last thing to leave you with about the Brewfest for World of Warcraft is to make sure you have adequate space for everything you will be picking up. The last thing you want is to lose out on the Brewfest tokens because you have some grey items in your bag waiting to be sold for a few coins.
