Tainted Avalanche Ale

[Eumerin]

Working on Coldain Ring #9 right now, which means I need Tainted Avalanche Ale. Brewing skill is 193, but its the highest brewing skill in the guild, and should have a decent success rate, so...

At any rate, I put together a guild hunting trip that went after a few targets in Western Wastes and swung through Siren's Grotto to smack a few sirens around so I could pick up the Runed Sea Shell I need. We cleared away the extra mobs, and the ranger started pulling sirens. Killed the first couple. Killed the next couple (and looted a shell). Pulled some more.

Mistress Latazura begins to cast a spell.

Oops.

Wipe.

Okay. One shell is enough for one attempt, and I have a decent chance of succeeding. All in favor of not worrying about shells for the rest of the hunt say "Aye".

Then after we finished, back to the Bazaar to find a vial of Mind Melt. Picked one up for 500p (unfortunately, the only high level rogue in the guild has a low make poison skill and has gone on a long term leave of absence from the guild). Then I went looking for my geerlok brewing device.

I had one. I remember buying it. I added it to my magelo. It was one of the two geerloks I purchased (the other is a smithing hammer). And now that I finally need it (for the first time) I CAN'T FIND IT!!!!!

So I had to buy another one. At least they're cheap.

So...

Geerlok equipped. Everything in the brew barrel. Click combine.

Fail.


Oh boy...

Yep... it hurts to fail on something like this.

I tried my first ale about 19X or so... failed... Worked up skill to 200... then got 3 AA points (had first 3 in Run 3) and got the New Tannan Craft Mastery. And pushed the Brewing up to 242 (Pottery was at 214). I suceeded there.

Went after Captain Berradain and got him down, and his guards with the help I had (2 other folks). I wasn't comfortable trying peffin with only 3 so I waited.

About a week later I had another group six with me... and tried Peffin... And mucked it up. Peffin on re-spawn shows up -outside- the hut (not inside where you find her for the initial turn in). And before we engaged her outside, she and her guards de-popped (we were engaged fighting the spawns inside the hut).

So had to go make a third ale. Pushed the brewing all the way to 248, got the materials and made the ale. Then found Berradain... no problem got him and his note. Visited Peffin just after that, and got her.

A few days later our guild visited the Manor in Kael, then a couple days after that I visited Julia. And since nobody was bothering Dain, I completed the quest.

Now to find an army to do the 10th Ring.

Eep, that is a bit of a time sink

It can be MQ'd, before wasting another attempt (50 below trivial I'd put your chances at maybe 60%) I'd consider finding a GM brewer and paying them 1k or so to combine and turn in for you.

Just look for the guy in bazaar selling Kaladim Constitionals, and find their alt .
