It all eats an enormous amount of time

It's true the ingredients for Faydwer Shakers are easy to get, and there are other recipes whose ingredients are also pretty available...but make no mistake, it takes hours to skill up. I've posted some of this in the Primal Scream Room, but just to let up- and-coming brewers know, it took me 10 hours of clicking to skill up 46 points on Shakers. This isn't a complicated recipe, no earlier subcombines, no combinations of bits and pieces from some other brewing run, this was just straight ahead combining of existing, easily purchased cultural alchohols. And it still takes 10 hours! I've made inquiries, and this is a fairly common length of time...nothing high level about it, down to earth brewing. So don't be lulled into thinking it can be knocked out in an afternoon after school. You won't do this and get your chemisty homework done on time.

Um I'm not sure why you are having such a hard time skilling up. I started at 0 last night and spent around an hour finding the barrel finding the grubs and doing the combines for fetid, and I maxed my skills at 122.

This afternoon at lunch I ran to East Freeport, found where to buy the combine stuff, and found the brewery, started combining and got up to 172, all within one hour.

I'd think if you knew where all of the stuff was located you could probably make 172 within an hour and a half, easy. I have my intelligence at 280 so this probably helps, but I would go quicker if I took the time to empty out all my backpacks before I started.

Some wise person once suggested going to Halas (Bldg 10 on EqAtlas map) to make MHB. The brew barrel has two vendors next to it who, between them, sell all the ingredients. What could be easier?

pikamoos, those posts prior to yours were from before the new UI. Prior to that all ingredients (9 for MHB) had to be put in the brew barrel by hand. Now I'd be surprised if it takes more than two hours to get to 248 in brewing.

If your a little race... find the brew barrel. You have everything in one room to get to 248 on MHB's (except water which is right outside the door to the right on little female vendor). So everything is there including the short beers.

I went from 200 to 248 in 2.5 hours for 40pp.

213 to 248 on MHB in Halas, 45 mins flat. I will post more detailed data under a separate thread when I can pick apart my log at home for my path from 187 (Shar Vahl Essence) to 248. Now to plot and scheme for those last two points.

I'm sure it has been said before - but not on this lovely thread - Sanctus Seru is a great place for Faydwyr Shakers. All sold next to the brew barrel -plus a beautiful city - not designed for gnomes, or on a far away ship
