Updated Loot System

For each subsequent daily attempt on the boss with a single Battle.net account, the chance for the item to drop will increase and continues to accumulate for each failed attempt. This change will allow players to spend less time working to earn a specific dropped item while providing an increasing opportunity to get that item during the holiday.

Achievements

Brewmaster

To complete this achievement you will have to eat each food listed in the achievement at least once.

For this achievement you will need to obtain 200 Brewfest Prize Tokens and buy a "Brew of the Month" Club Membership Form from Blix Fixwidget or Belbi Quikswitch.

This item will start a quest for you to turn in the signed form to either Ray'ma in Orgrimmar or Larkin Thunderbrew in Ironforge.

Simply queue up for Coren Direbrew on the LFG tool and defeat him.

As mentioned in the description, there are two ways to complete this achievement. You can either obtain one of the mounts listed in the "Mounts" section of this guide, or you can use a variety of hops to transform your mount into a Brewfest mount temporarily.

The vendors for these hops are Blix Fixwidget and Ray'ma for Horde players or Belbi Quikswitch and Larkin Thunderbrew for Alliance players.

This achievement is obtained by purchasing a Wolpertinger's Tankard for 200 Brewfest Prize Tokens from Grimlash Thornclaw & Brina Bearclaw.

Note: Do not buy the pet from the Auction House, it will not grant you the achievement.

Other Achievements

  • Almost Blind Luck - Fall 65 yards without dying while wearing Synthebrew Goggles during the Brewfest Holiday.

Similarly to Going Down?, to obtain the achievement you have to fall 65 yards without dying, while wearing the Synthebrew Goggles. You can obtain the goggles from Snipehunter Goro and Goldark Snipehunter.

There are many locations where this can be achieved, here are a few of ways to do it:

  • Walk off the flight master's ledge towards Grommash Hold

  • Walk off one of the bridges in Shattrath City at its highest point

  • If you have a flying mount, you can fly upwards and fall down from the desired height. This might take some trial-and-error, just make sure you're fully healed before attempting it again.

To obtain this achievement you have to sample each different kind of brew that you can purchase during the Brewfest. There are three different vendors you will need to visit to obtain all the brews needed to complete the achievement. You can find them outside Orgrimmar or Ironforge.

Both Factions

Horde

Alliance

  • Disturbing the Peace - While wearing 3 pieces of Brewfest clothing, get completely smashed and dance in Dalaran.

For this achievement, you will first need to obtain 3 different pieces of the Brewfest Garb, which you can find listed in the "Transmog" section of this guide. You will need a total of 350 Brewfest Prize Tokens to purchase the ones necessary for the achievement.

Your next step is to buy enough beverage to get completely drunk then head to Northrend Dalaran. Drink until you're completely smashed and /dance while wearing the 3 pieces of Brewfest clothing to obtain the achievement.

To get this achievement you have to sample each different "Brew of the Month" over the course of a whole year. To be able to obtain each "Brew of the Month", you will have to sign up for the "Brew of the Month Club" by purchasing the "Brew of the Month" Club Membership Form from Blix Fixwidget or Belbi Quikswitch.

Once you have signed up for the "Brew of the Month Club", you will recieve an in-game mail each month with a sample of that months' brew. You can also purchase the same brew from the Brew Vendor in Orgrimmar or Ironforge. The brew they sell will rotate every month, and will always be the same one as the one you recieve in your mail.

Note: Sometimes you won't recieve the mail with the brew, but you will still be able to purchase the brew for that month from the vendor as long as you've joined the club during Brewfest.

Throw nearby taster mugs at these destructive alementals to put a cork in their plans.

Shoo Pesky Hozen

Unruly hozen want to monkey around—restore order by driving away these pests.

Tip: Some of these buggers are winged, so saddle up on a flying mount to reach them!
