Time Is Money Brewfest Edition

Posted by J.E. Douglas at 5:45 PM

One of the things that I find for holidays and events is to make sure that I'm using my time as wisely
as possible.   With the different quests that are available on the first day,  as well as continuing days
of Brewfest.   So finding the fastest method to get quests done is very important.

One of these quests is the There and Back Again Daily that's just outside of Brewfest central.

The entire quest is timed to get as many trips to and from the barrel holders and back.  Each time you complete the quest you receive the Brewfest Tickets.   Last year they changed the route so that it is
no longer a straight line but curves along the pathway.

If your wanting to cut some corners.   There are a couple of different paths that can be taken.
One is to wrap just under the Dranosh'ar  Blockade area.   You can cut along the hill and up a little bit giving you about 2-3 seconds of extra time against running around the building entirely along the normal road path.



Brewfest path 1

I usually avoid jumping through the tables themselves because if I mistime the jump my
momentum stops and it doesn't save time)

Brewfest Path Part 2

After this turn you want to line yourself up to run right along the Apple Barrels to reset the
exhaustion timer for the mount.   It's important to rub right up next to it or even jump along it.
Some players have been reporting that the collision detection is not the greatest.   If you miss this
barrel then you will want to swing behind the barrel thrower to use that apple barrel to rest your
timer.

Brewfest Patch Part 3

If you reset your timer on the way across via the apple barrel then you should be able to turn around
just right in front of the barrel thrower.  He will launch the barrel and it will follow you even if your running away from him.  (A personal mini game I will play is to see just how far I can get before the
barrel catches me).


Brewfest Path Part 4

Once you have everything lined up just retrace your steps back,  and go around the back of the
delivery tent to use the apple barrel there (your timer does not reset after delivery of the barrel).

Map Overview

My suggestion would be to try this path a few times without the need of the timer on a ground mount
to get acclimated to the fastest way to get there and back.   Hopefully this short of a route can add 4-6 more deliveries to your quest than the normal road path.

There are more shortcuts to your routes for Brewfest.   Cutting down the time to do dailies will allow you more time to level your characters and enjoy the other non quest play that is the Brewfest holiday.

Good Luck and Good Hunting
