Direbrewfest 2010

[Vicker]

To summarize:

You can kill Corin as many times as you want, just zone out and click your LFD again and voila, you're in.
He has about 305K hp, and drops in 15-20 seconds tops.
There is no quest to engage him, you just go and talk to him. You can do this from the same toon over and over, but he only drops the trinkets.

One per day however he'll drop an extra chest (a keg, automatically looted) that contains 2 frosts, and a chance to either mounts, the tankard of terror and the remote.

So yeah, you can only farm the mounts once a day, down from 5 last year. But you can farm your iLvL 200 trinkets very easily.



Some of the brewfest quest are great for boxers,(pink eleks and ram race count for group) and others are a pain (worpeltinger needs to be done 5 times and the barking ones around Org i haven't been able to box correctly and ended up doing on each toon separately)

overall, i think to get all the achievements you'll need 552 tickets (202 if only going for meta achievement)
50 hat (not needed for meta)
100 boots (not needed for meta)
200 robe (not needed for meta)
200 club card
2 hops for mount transform

How is it possible to get that many tickets? After I did all of the quests in front of IF, I have less than 200 tickets. I only see one daily quest, and that gives something like 15 tickets. Are there quests elsewhere?

One thing i noticed is that even though you can't join Direbrew boss with lowbie toons, you can still use warlock to summon them to instance to collect loots, including frost emblems and other epics.

I queued up with my lvl 80 team, entered instance, summoning stone up, left the instance and party with 3 of my lvl 80s, invited 3x lvl 61 toons, summoned them to instance and finally i did the same with my wlock, summoned the last one (you can still use summoning stone even if warlock leaves party), soloed boss with my tank, toons got their www.wowhead.com/?item=Emblem of Frost, no epic mount though. :P Also, you can farm trinkets as many times as you need. It was too time-consuming for my taste, all that logging in and out and summoning... but it works!

To anyone thinking that you need to zone out to requeue for it: You don't need to zone out, just requeue as soon as you are done looting.

Oh nice, didn't know that.

Gotta be careful with doing it this way tho. It bugged up on me and my group that was farming him a few times. It would log us all out and when we logged back in, we'd be in the last place we were before entering the instance with the que. Kept teleporting me back to Dalaran and reset a couple of my hotkeys and twice my gear back to my pvp set.

The ram race is not a daily quest. Once you've done the regular quest, you can talk to the NPC to start the daily race every 18 hours. You'll be awarded 2 tickets per loop.

Darkirons attack the place every thirty minutes. If they're defeated you'll see a blue ! on the ground, granting 10 tickets.

I don't have a warlock at 80 but I just used another method to get my team Im leveling in, and long term it will probably be easier than a warlock... provided you've done it a few times already. If you start the instance up with an 80 team and then swap in your subs, an 80 can hearth out and use Direbrews Remote to bring the others in. Once you've done it a couple of times the subs will have their own remotes so can get in without help - just start the instance off with an 80 team, and keep your tank in there.

You can buy the outfits then sell them back within 2 hours. Then spend your tokens on the long term items.

Warning : you can't do that anymore!

and also the Direbrew's Remote (now useless unless you could use a free tp to MC)

I'm kinda surprised more people don't know this, but the remote has a very cool hidden feature and IMO, one of the cooler items in the game. Walk into the bar and talk to the guy next to the band, and you can make them play anytime.

If you never caught the band playing north of Shattrath during the scourge invasion, you can watch the band here anytime with this item. Make sure to have you music on. Also, if you /cheer the band members, you'll get a 5 minute 10% all stats buff.

You can do this without a warlock.

After you invite your lowbies to the group you can simply use the Teleport to dungeon button on your minimap. I've picked up two mounts for ~64 lvl alts in this way so far. Figures they get all the luck while my mains are still without mounts after last year.
