Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Contact Us. Site Map. One odd note, this event is harder to do if you have good graphics.
With poor graphics, you do not get the full effect of inebriation, and can still see your targets. With good graphics, as the defense progresses, you become plastered, your screen blurs, and your targets will be vague blobs. The mechanics of the defense do not require you to see your targets to hit them, but it is useful to be able to see where defense is needed, and that part gets harder.
You do not have to take part in the defense in order to collect this quest. The cog is available for anyone to loot if the defenders are successful. You can log several characters out near the cog and rapidly switch and loot the cog when it appears.
The cog remains for around ten minutes. The Chug and Chuck! You do have to loot a sample mug from a table in order to participate, and the sample mugs behave like conjured items; they disappear when you log out, and you will have to loot another one to participate in a defense. Chug and Chuck has about the best yield per time invested ratio in the event, yielding 10 tokens for about a minute's effort. You can defend against the Dark Iron Dwarf attack at the opposing faction's Brewfest celebration, but you will not have replacement mugs tossed to you, you will have to loot them from the tables, and you will not be able to loot the Dark Iron cog for the daily quest if successful.
It doesn't make sense that the cog would know your faction, but it does make sense that neither faction's quest end point will reward you for the defense. If you attempt this, it is helpful to stand on or near one of the tables. The Dark Iron Mole Machine Wreckage only spawns if the Dark Iron Dwarves are defeated, there have been reports that approximately Dark Iron Dwarves must be knocked out in order for their side to lose. This may have been true in the past, but observation in 's event bears evidence that winning is time based, not based on the quantity killed.
All wins observed occurred five minutes after the attack started, and the number of Dark Iron Dwarves killed varied from just over two hundred to around three hundred. Some losses had around killed. The only factor that seemed consistent was if there was at least one cask with at least some health remaining when the five minute mark was reached.
It will despawn after 15 minutes. The defeated Dark Iron Dwarves running toward their exit point can still be attacked and will still knock you back. Stunned Dark Iron Dwarves who revive late can occasionally be seen running to the despawn point after their conveyance has departed. If you need to clear a bag slot quickly see ram racing below , the lootable defense mug is a good item to toss, since it can be easily replaced. Dark Iron Song, sing during the event:.
Several of the quests involve the racing rams, including the barking runs and the keg delivery. The ram racing event mechanics do not depend on character level. The rams have 5 speeds, accessed through the [ Ram Racing Reins ]. Using the reins "encourages" the ram to speed up; encourage it enough times and its speed increases see the speed table below. It takes a few clicks to go up to the next speed and you have to click on a regular basis to stay in a speed range. Clicking faster than the maintenance rate will speed up the pace, while not clicking for a while will slow down.
Binding your reins to a hot key will give you an easier method to more easily and precisely control your use of your reins. The first ram practice quest that teaches you how to achieve the speeds. If you get into Canter and Gallop speeds, you get a stacking debuff called Ram Fatigue which tracks your ram's fatigue.
If this debuff stacks to , your ram becomes exhausted and slows almost to a crawl for 15 seconds. It is essential that you manage your ram's fatigue, and the two repeatable ram racing events, delivery and barking, provide two different means for doing so.
Ramstein's Swift Work Ram lasts for a total of 4 minutes. During the keg delivery daily quest, the time limit for the ram is increased by 30 seconds for each keg delivered.
However, the buff has a maximum duration of 15 minutes. Even if you deliver the 23rd keg successfully, which increases the duration to 15m30s, you will be dismounted at the 15m mark. If you gallop the whole way, a single keg trip can easily take as little as 40—60 seconds, earning you 2 [ Brewfest Prize Tokens ] , meaning that expert ram riders can stretch out the four-minute keg run to 8—10 minutes, getting 20 Brewfest Prize Tokens or more down from 50 in the beginning of the event in For the keg deliveries, there are apple barrels which, if you ride by closely enough, will remove the Ram Fatigue debuff entirely and allow it to start at zero again.
This is very important to maximize token gain from the keg delivery daily quest, it allows you to gallop at full speed throughout the delivery event. The apple barrels work on any ram, and there are some barrels near the barker quest NPCs, but the barking run does not have barrels along the barking route.
Most players will find that due to lag, riding past the barrels does not always dispel the debuff. If this happens to you, compensate by ramming the barrels for a half second or so and then slide around them. An alternate method is to make an arching, banana shaped path around the barrel resulting in a longer path through the barrel's trigger radius without having to actually pause the forward movement of the ram. Jumping in the proximity of the barrel seems to give you a fraction of a second longer for the fatigue dispel to proc.
This extra time in proximity to the barrel will reduce the chance that you will miss your reset and exhaust your ram. In the Brewfest you could stop by pressing the key that would normally cause you to back up momentarily, again creating extra time in proximity to the barrel, but this is not possible in Brewfest or You should keep tabs on the debuff and watch for the red flash when it dispels, but beware, the red flash is an unreliable indication, check that the debuff reset to zero.
If the debuff fails to dispel, it is much more expedient to return to the barrel than to allow the Exhausted Ram to proc. The endpoints, the keg tosser and keg catcher, can also fail to proc, and it is useful to keep your main bag open so that you can see when you get the keg and when you've delivered it. By all means ensure that you've delivered the keg, you will not get the extra 30 seconds until you do.
Deal with the keg as your top priority; return to pick it up or toss it as required. If you have to revisit an end point, you will probably also need a trip to an apple barrel as well. Drag the macro to a spot in your UI where you can easily see it if you've got an addon like Bartender, which will allow you to make a bar with one single giant button wherever you like, so much the better , then make sure before starting any given race that the slot you've picked is the first available slot in your inventory.
Any time that inventory slot is empty for example when you don't have a keg , the button will show as a big red question mark; any time you DO have a keg, it will show up on the button.
The best time of day to do this quest is when the server is least busy, because you will have less problem with events not proccing. Evening is the prime time to avoid, if your schedule allows it. Some servers just have more trouble keeping up, and the Horde procs are consistently worse than the Alliance procs, no doubt due to the goblin's low budget hiring practices.
It amounts to about an average of six tokens more per delivery session on the Alliance side. Regarding the following optimal paths and strategies, assess the effect of lag on your current runs. If, buy some miracle, everything works smoothly, you can find an optimal turning point at the maximum radius away from the tosser and catcher, race past the barrels, and will not have a problem.
Us mortals will envy you and will err on the side of robust runs that do not fail. Optimal path for Alliance: There are four apple barrels along the route - barrel 1 in the ram pen, barrel 2 at the crossing, barrel 3 in a hollow behind a tree as you approach Kharanos moved there in from the location at the gnome lab ; it is set up for jumping over; and barrel 4 in Kharanos behind the keg thrower moved in to near the carts on the other side of the street. You should avoid using barrel 4, since barrel 3 is so close to the keg thrower.
Just make a quick shortly before you'd ride past the guard Ironforge Mountaineer , and ride back to barrel 3. Similarly, you should avoid using barrel 1, since barrel 2 is so close to the keg receiver. Just make a quick shortly after you ride into the clearing where the receiver stands.
You should use as few barrels as possible; each entails a slight but cumulative delay. There are a few fast routes, but you will have to compromise some guidelines.
Keep in mind if you do this that the end point barrels are available should the others fail to proc. This is an excellent bail-out option that does not cost you too much additional time.
Optimal path for Horde: There are also four apple barrels along the route, which goes along the road toward Razor Hill. Barrel 1 is in the ram pen behind the tent, barrel 2 along the west side of the road right side when you are starting , north toward org of the goblin merchant' cart and clearing, barrel 3 hidden behind a small hilly outcropping on the east left side when you are starting out at the entrance to the canyon, and barrel 4 in the canyon behind and across the road to the east of the keg thrower.
The same guidelines and strategies apply with the additional advice that barrel 2 seems particularly conveniently placed. It's safest to eat from all three barrels, but Barrel 2 is close enough to the keg receiver than you can eat from Barrel 2, toss the keg, and return to Barrel 2 just as your ram's fatigue hits The timing is very close, and players with server lag might not wish to risk the two seconds it could take for your ram to register that an apple barrel is nearby.
A tip for quick, easy course changes: Once you get your ram pointed on a clear straight path to an apple barrel or keg pick-up or drop-off point, rotate your camera to face the direction you'll want to travel after getting there.
That way, when you reach your destination, you can press the right mouse button to change your heading instantly and accurately. The rams are always running, but the game still keeps track of whether your character is in run or stand mode. If you are in run mode many peoples' camera swings to face forward. You can just press your key bound to turn off movement. Your ram will still be running, but your camera will stay in place as if you were standing still.
You can also hold down your left mouse button after rotating the view to remain facing where you've turned the camera. While doing this, pressing the right mouse button will instantly change the direction as above. Another tip to try and maximize your runs involves jumping. If you jump while your ram is Galloping, then in midair you switch to Canter, you can get a few seconds of Gallop speed with the fatigue cost of Canter.
So with some good timing you can get 2 to 4 seconds of free Gallop time between the barrel thrower and the apples. Also for those without lag, take note of how soon you can turn around. It's much sooner than you may think. Keep your thumb on the space bar to jump, because you will get hung up on scenery items, and jumping will usually release you. If that doesn't work, try quick turns. If the Exhausted Ram debuff procs, you are kind of screwed; even if you are at a barrel, with zero fatigue, the debuff will run for its full 15 seconds.
Don't sweat it, just do your best and get the most tokens you can out of the remainder of the run. If the debuff procs and your fatigue is still high, around 85, then trot or canter to the nearest barrel, don't gallop, then resume the run after you've cleared your fatigue.
Something is wonky lol Guess alts miss out this year. Comment by furdude2 New find! The Barrels for the Ram Running are now able to be ran through no more gettin stuck! Having the Gear that drops require Level when only Level 's can que is a gross oversight. Comment by FreeZeMaN55 Can someone confirm that you can buy the pet, get the achievement and then refund it? Edit: I can confirm! You don't actually need to learn the pet to get the achievement, just need to buy it.
After that you can refund it fom tokens and buy the Brew of the Month item for the meta achievement! Comment by Benegesserit Wow EU what a bunch of prudes. Comment by Nitweed For those making new characters just to farm tokens: Make alliance characters! The daily quest which requires you to deliver barrels by using the ram seems to be more efficient on alliance than horde. Over several trials on both factions, I am consistently getting 24 26 if I'm lucky tokens on horde and 30 32 if I'm really lucky tokens on alliance per daily.
Comment by projecteulogy Great. I have no use in even participating in Brewfest now that I just read you can't obtain the mounts. Some hops to turn my mount festive? The Reindeers for Christmas look better. Then you only have 2 dailies everyday.
Kinda wanted to spend some time doing stuff during an Event I've never been able to participate in until now. I'm quite disappointed I extended my sub. I would have just waited to renew during the holidays. Mounts that are no longer obtainable in game need to be taken off the new UI. This is really misleading and I got my hopes up thinking i was going to be able to participate in a world event to get some cool stuff, when in reality, there's nothing of worth except the achievements, which aren't hard to get.
I apparently bought the Brewfest pets off the AH for stupid cheap and didn't even realize it, so I guess I will just go level an alt lol. Comment by Undreadll The typical route that horde players take is not optimized. I just got 30 tokens as Horde and I got caught up around the turn-in a few times it was my first time doing it since last year so I was a little rusty.
I could have gotten 32 at least. I haven't tried it on Alliance, but they also don't optimize from past experience. It amazes me that every year I jump past people at each end turn-in and getting the barrel and they never copy what I'm doing. For example, on the Horde path, you should only hit the apples near where you catch the barrel once. When you skim around the big rocks, aim at the barrel thrower, then turn around toward the apples a little after passing the brewfest banner to your right before you get to him.
You will still get the barrel in your inventory as you turn around or a split second after if you're doing it right, even though the barrel he throws will hit you around the time you get the apples. The seconds saved by tactics like this add up. Comment by Yaminoyugure So at lvl , the only reason I can see this being done for anything is the chance at mounts and for tokens for items from vendors. If I understand correctly, you need to be level to queue, the weapons are useless except for mog purposes because of transmog, and the trinkets are ilevel.
Which you can easily get, if not better, in regular dungeons Hmmm, guess I will just farm it for the tokens to get the toys I have missed. Good luck to those still after the mounts! I used Weak Auras to create the barrel and ram icons down at the bottom, and a Bartender bar to show my token count. It will take over 15 minutes to get 44 tokens if you and your internet connection do everything right.
Comment by DocLithius This is somewhat off-topic and not especially useful , but I just wanted to say that I think that Red Pandaren barmaid might be the cutest thing ever. Thank you for your time. He came out to tap the keg at pm server time, and I received the buff at pm server time. In the past, the common consensus seems to be that he comes out twice a day: once at and once at , so I'm not sure why he came out at this time.
Maybe the keg tapping is happening more often now. Has anyone else noticed him coming out at odd times or does anyone else have more information on this? Comment by Tuvock Brew of the Month Club Mail is once again not appearing, even for my newest characters who joined the club this year. Comment by Salokz Made two WeakAuras Bar to track the duration and the fatigue of your ram and a warning sound if your fatigue gets too high.
Comment by warcanon Complete the Legion invasion quests up to atleast where you talk to the illidari at the flight master in Orgrimmar before you jump onto your lv alts and start brewfest dailys. I was wondering why I couldn't ride around yelling in Orgrimmar and get credit at the correct spots or ride to deliver kegs. Comment by Mehetabel I bought two of the Brewfest hats on an alt this morning but I'm unable to transmog them on my main.
I'm wondering if you have to own the regalia on the actual character you want to transmog it on. Has anyone else noticed this? Comment by nisx Nothing new in , more luck next year. Comment by takomt I can confirm that the minimum level for Coren is in fact Pretty dissapointed when I read this now. Comment by just4u It says here for EU, that you need tokens for everything.
Because as far as i can tell it has neither an achivement or is part of a collection. So it is not necesssary. If this is the case, the token sum is: 6 toys 3 pets including wolpetriger 8 tmogables 3 achivement exclusive Brew of the Month,Have Keg, Will Travel,Almost Blind Luck tokens.
Comment by Wyr3d Pffft, why no Cheese hat from the cheese vendor, Bread hat from the bread vendor, or Wine hat from the wine vendor? Comment by CronoLink It needs to be pointed out that the Brewfest xmog is NOT account-wide; you will need to buy the gear for each toon separately if you wish to have it available in your Appearance tab for that toon.
Edit: As commenters below pointed out, the Brewfest xmog is actually account-wide, but for some bizarre reason that escapes me, it won't appear as available in your other toons until the xmog's refund timer is over. A friend of mine had it drop for his hunter the other day.
The brewers have representatives at other cities vending the same brews. There are three vendors vending three kinds of brew each, several tiered by level allowed to drink and a few high-end brews with different buffs. The prices are good relative to similar mana refreshments. Beware, these Brewfest libation items, labeled "requires Brewfest", disappear when Brewfest ends.
Note that Shattrath City has a small celebration with three brew vendors. Whereas the other cities' vendors are strictly faction specific, not counting the ogre vendors common to both factions, one of the vendors in Shattrath is a neutral goblin wearing a dwarf mask selling dwarven Thunderbrews.
The third vendor in Shattrath is an Orc selling Drohn's brews , who will not sell to Alliance characters. There are also four smaller stalls, three selling food, a bread vendor, a cheese vendor, and a sausage vendor, and one wine vendor selling other normally available inebriating drinks. The food vendors sell both special Brewfest items and normal vended food.
The specific Brewfest foods have a well-fed buff and cost half as much as similar level vendor food that do not provide a buff. Beware, these Brewfest repast items, labeled "requires Brewfest", also disappear when Brewfest ends. These vendors are at the main celebrations only. These vendors will not sell cross-faction, but the same Brewfest food is available from both factions vendors.
There is an achievement, [ Strange Brew ] , [ Strange Brew ] to sample each purchasable Brewfest brew, and an achievement, [ The Brewfest Diet ] , to sample each purchasable Brewfest food. One sample, a choice of three, is given as a reward by the lead-in quest to find the Brewfest.
This includes an option for the lowest brew that anyone can drink, thus, all can participate. This sample is the same item as you would purchase from one of the brew vendors, and counts toward the drinking achievements. A Brewfest Stein is awarded for the completing an easy Souvenir quest see Quests below which will allow you to drink a few of these selections for free.
These are used to collect a drink from the sample kegs, of which there are three available, one for each vendor. One of these is again the lowest brew that anyone can drink. The sample kegs are available at the main celebrations and at the city celebrations, but note that the ogre's samples at the city celebrations look like a wagon full of smaller kegs, not like a huge keg.
These samples have the name of the purchasable brew and cause inebriation, but do not count toward the drinking achievements. You can use the Brewfest Stein to collect a sample of brew that is above your level. Drinking this will cause you to vomit shortly afterward. You can also collect samples of brews of the other faction from their sample kegs.
These will act as normal for a brew of their level of your own faction. Drinking a cross-faction sample does not count for any achievement. The complementary sample brews used to pelt the Dark Iron dwarves are now non-alcoholic, and so actively participating in the defense will no longer get you plastered. These also do not count toward the drinking achievements. Other than the brewers there are many Brewfest Revelers around getting drunk, cheering, and dancing.
For those who want to control their impairment, a pair of [ Synthebrew Goggles ] are available for the asking from Goldark Snipehunter or Glodrak Huntsniper. These goggles give a "buff" that simulates inebriation for the purposes of Brewfest and can be removed quickly by removing the goggles normal inebriation requires time to dissipate.
Two holiday mounts, the [ Swift Brewfest Ram ] and the [ Great Brewfest Kodo ] , are available as rare loot from defeating the holiday boss encounter, Coren Direbrew. Once per day after queueing for and defeating him using the Dungeon Finder tool, players will receive a [ Keg-Shaped Treasure Chest ] that has a low chance to contain either mount.
Despite being clearly Alliance- and Horde-themed, either mount is an equally likely drop for any player regardless of faction. The [ "Honorary Brewer" Hand Stamp ] was sold for [ Brewfest Prize Tickets ] , which started a quick quest that allowed the player to purchase the mounts with gold.
Any player who has completed the quest can still purchase the rams, but the Hand Stamp itself is no longer obtainable. Therefore, the [ Brewfest Ram ] is only available to those players. Note that both factions offered Rams for purchase; the Kodo was introduced later.
There are several items you can get from redeeming [ Brewfest Prize Tokens ]. To redeem your tokens, or turn 's [ Brewfest Prize Tickets ] into tokens, visit. Larkin Thunderbrew and Ray'ma remain available all year round and will vend to you if you have Brewfest Prize Tokens, but as of Brewfest , it is no longer possible to buy from them after Brewfest since the Tokens now disappear the moment Brewfest ends.
For Brewfest they redeemed Brewfest Prize Tokens for some time after Brewfest ended as long as your tokens had not expired, several days, depending on when you earned them. They did not offer to vend after Brewfest unless you were carrying at least one Brewfest Prize Token.
It was, for instance, possible in to purchase a Wolpertinger from them for cash as long as you were carrying a Brewfest Token. Since 's prize tickets do not expire, it is best not to convert them into tokens until you want to use them to make a purchase.
In , only players in Europe were able to buy it. Note that any item labeled 'requires Brewfest' disappears when Brewfest ends. The hops, in particular, come in multiple varieties only three per faction , but only the [ Preserved Brewfest Hops ] remains after Brewfest.
The buff from a hops to change your mount remains in force when Brewfest ends, for the duration of the buff. Once accepted, this quest will automatically complete itself; the amount of tokens that are rewarded is completely up to you and your ram racing skill. Just as the previous quests, this quest gives you a [ Rental Racing Ram ] for four minutes. If the [ Rental Racing Ram ] buff is dispelled or canceled, you cannot restore it; you simply have to wait for dailies to reset.
If you accidentally [ Blink ] yourself off the ram, you will have consumed your attempt. If you are shapeshifted, you will be unable to mount the ram, but you will have consumed your attempt. When the mechanic is started, you will be given [ Ram Racing Reins ] , however, you can also request them from the neighboring NPC to get a head start, usually to place the reins in a favorable action bar slot. The quest mechanic works the same as the There and Back Again quest, except that for each successful delivery, you are awarded an extra 30 seconds on your [ Rental Racing Ram ] buff and 2.
The maximum number of tokens that can be obtained is debatable. It is known that the ram racing buff will last a maximum of 15 minutes, regardless of all other factors including any time the buff shows.
However, within that limit, the number of potential runs is limited by the time it takes to deliver each barrel:. Ignore any remainder on the number of runs - partial runs do not count. Remember that each run gives 2 , so for example, if you have 6 successful runs you will receive Multiple contributors have reported several runs of 23 rounds, which is just over 39 seconds on average remembering the first round is slower , and hits the 15 minute maximum duration for the buff.
Please add any available information to this section. As of patch 8. Alcohol-Free Brewfest Samplers come in handy. When Direbrew Invaders attack, they need to be knocked out by mugs. During hozen attacks, Hozen Raiders and Hozen Flyers need to be knocked out. During alemental attacks, Mischevious Alementals need to be knocked out. After the alementals are defeated, [ Daily] Contained Alemental can be picked from Contained Alemental.
The Dark Iron dwarves prepare to attack Brewfest in Every half hour, a party of Dark Iron Guzzlers will crash the party at the main Brewfest grounds outside Ironforge and Orgrimmar.
Hitting these dwarves with a beer mug will knock them out cold, thus 'killing' them and stopping them from stealing the free brew. Here's how you can participate in saving the free brew for the invited guests:. Pick up a [ Alcohol-Free Brewfest Sampler ] from any one of the square tables. Using this item will cause you to quickly drink it and throw the empty mug. Staying in range roughly 40 yards of the NPCs that represent each brewery around the area while using a complementary brew sampler will cause the Barkers and Brewmaidens to toss you another sample.
If you need to, you can always manually loot another one from the table. If there are Dark Irons close enough and in front of the player, the mug you throw will likely hit one of them in the head and knock them out. It is a random chance and does not depend on character level. This is a somewhat unique battle in WoW where a low-level character can contribute as much as a high-level character.
It is useful to bind the mug to a hotkey in order to drink and throw rapidly. The mug works even with no Dark Irons around; it will either hit your target or if you have no target it just lands on the ground.
It is not useful to chase the Dark Irons. The empty mugs travel quite far, and moving interrupts throwing. In addition, the Dark Irons have a brawling move that throws player characters away from them and interrupts throwing mugs, so keeping your distance allows you to attack more often. Standing behind a keg you are defending prevents the Dark Irons from reaching you.
The mugs have an adequate range, but you may find that you need to move forward if you've eliminated all of your targets. Walking through one of these mugs will give the player a whirlwind attack buff for several seconds. If you get the buff, aim yourself at large groups of Dark Irons to stun them en mass.
