Brewing for Iksars 122+

[Kriten]

Suggestions to 250 from 122 for Iksars?

[Tinile]

same as any other race. skull ale if you can get a skull, then faydwer shakers and mino brew. For the last 2 points you have your choice of a couple options.

[Grenoble]

Yup. I have attained contentment by getting everything for Shakers in FG.

Brewer Pixal and the Klok beside him have all the ingredients for MHB.

suggestion for brewing

you can get to 187 on Shar Vahl essence

Shar Vahl essence: payala fruit (ground spawn in Shadeweavers), flask of water, trivial 187

The payala fruit spawn on the ground beneath the trees with bright blue leaves in Shadeweaver, with about 10minute timer. There are several clusters of tree, and by running around the newbie area (dont cross the hills) you can get several stacks over the course of an hour or two.

For that matter, you can get to 186 on Cabilis essence....forage deadbone barley in our beloved Field of Bone.

Just in case kitties don't like lizards, either

Once you max out on shar vhal essence do yourself a favor and buy a corking device. I made GLM from 190-195 so far. It is profitable at my skill level (with a geerlok). I know conventional wisdom is against this, but if you can skill up, and make money at it, why not?

Also, if you can forage well enough to easily get a hold of tea leaves I'd sit in EK and either raise your fishing, or slaughter cats and spiders to raise tailoring, and or smithing (LQ fur + thread makes padding for Fine steel, good for skilling up, up til 188...and sells well in bazaar even if you never want to touch a smithy hammer). Use those tea leaves to go from 216-226.

These skill up routes will cost you more, especially GLM since you need a corking device, but you can actually make money selling the stuff in the bazaar. I paid 1k + a BD for my corking device, and have made that back, and then some so far. Don't get me wrong, the profits aren't huge, but you can make some money at least while you skill up.

Vah shir don't care, hehe. Iksars aren't KOS in Shar Vahl, and can easily deal with any merchant there.

MHB are really easy in Cabilis. Klok Sass and Brewer Prixal, conveniently right next to the brew barrel, sell everything you need to make it except flask of water. Flasks of water are only sold by Lybar in West Cabilis, so get a bunch, hehe, the water trips tend to get annoying.

0 to 122 is easy on Fetid essense, Klok Foxmyr sells fishing grubs in unlimited supply. Then before jumping into MHB's, would make OlfdTuji'ms Fierce Brew, no water needed for it, and all ingredients are sold by Prixal and Sass. THEN do MHBs.

Last 2 points if you don't want to have to get someone to pick mushrooms for you, (suggest making a dwarf mule to go pick mushrooms in Kaladin for Kaladim Constitutional, myself) you could do demi-sec champagne. Requires magnums that cost 30pp a piece (if you get them nade at cost) so that can get expensive, you'd be better off investing in a corking device and making Kaladim Constitutional. Just make a mule to pick the mushrooms.

Shar Vhak essence is good

But it does take a whlie to collect them.

I picked up 16 stacks the other day and went from 151 to 185 with those 320 combines.

My Necro had 254 Int while doing those combines. MHB is the suck for sure. Stay away as long as you can.

For the money Shar Vhal essence cant be much cheaper, and getting brewing from 0 to 187 for around 15pp with Fetid Essence and Shar Vhal has got to be the cheapest of the cheap ways to skill up. For any skill.

Btw once you get the spawns down in Shadow Thicket you can almost run non stop, no sow-no run 3, and you will have very little down time.
starting fomr the PoK bok run towards the merchants and bank.
Always be looking for the blue Leaved Trees.
Head north from those trees for the next set. Then go west to the top of the next hill area whree you will find a few more trees. COntinue west to he Brigand camp. From there head south for a few just beyond the camp. Then head south until you see 2 trees on the right, one fruit spawn there. Then Keep going south until you see the one lone tree, there is a 3 tree spawn to the left as you approach. From here turn west. You will hit two sets of trees on the way west. After the second set of trees. head back to the merchats where you started.

Rinse and repeat. Hope you can understand whats been written here. If you read it while your running through the zone it will make more sense.


Again MHB sucks to make, can be done between SH and PoK thou so no need to go to High Keep or Halas. on 400 combines i have gone from 185 to 194 now. This seems like a really ****ty succes rate given my Int.

I'd agree with whoever said work on grobb liq. meat early. I did straight mino hero brews from 180 something to 248, and my wrist hurt for 3 weeks afterwards. Toss in some glm's here and there to mix it up, and you can make some cash doing it. Cabilis is great for doing mhb's though, just buy a bunch of water in west cab, and the 2 vendors next to the brew barrel have everything else.
