Acquiring Alcohol - Guild Wars Forums

So i know that there is a way to buy monastary credits or something and its cheaper/easier to get alcohol that just buying directly.

This true, and if so... what exactly should i do?

(and yes, i know farming is prolly the best)

Farm, get money. Buy from players

Or farm them during special events

SilentGaiden · Nov 22, 2008, 04:07 PM // 16:07

Farm them from Fronis Irontoe Dungeon I do it on NM and i get 1 chest for my Treasure hunter title and 1 ale either Aged or normal Dwarven ale it only takes about 3 mins per run

Joseph Spiritmaster · Nov 22, 2008, 04:23 PM // 16:23

3 mins, do you jsut run through it and kill boss?

SilentGaiden · Nov 22, 2008, 04:27 PM // 16:27

Yes I run to boss and kill him i avoid the rest Killroy gives you a skill in that dungeon that increases your speed i find it really easy to do. Just make sure you use the the first skill in the special skill bar you get for the dungeon use it as much as you can

Joseph Spiritmaster · Nov 22, 2008, 04:37 PM // 16:37

Alright.

And Ty Mod for moving the thread, did not know i was in the wrong forum...

Ajantis · Nov 22, 2008, 05:27 PM // 17:27

Or farm Hunters Ale in pre searing

Farm for gold and go in Temple of Balthazar and buy firewaters cheap

At least that's how I got my last 4k min or so that were needed.
Alchool is the easyest to get of all 3 (alchool/sweets/party) so I wouldn't worry too much.

weretoad · Nov 22, 2008, 08:34 PM // 20:34

easiest but boringest
you have to sit there every 3 minute, hitting the drink button a few more times for like 1000 hours

The best way to acquire alcohol is to farm Singed Gargoyle Skulls and cash them for Spiked Eggnog when Wintersday arrives (there's still enough time to stock a maxed title's worth of skulls). Old Ascalon and Diessa Lowlands sport a decent gargoyle population and any profession can farm in NM (of the ones I tried E and D were the fastest).

Joseph Spiritmaster · Nov 23, 2008, 02:50 AM // 02:50

Alright, i will look into the Gargoyle farm, i usually did orr emblems. but ill check Gargoyles

Daedra Deinheart · Nov 23, 2008, 02:59 AM // 02:59

What I did was make new Canthan characters, doing quests that were short and gave me Monastery Credits, then I erased it before gong to Seitung Harbor (doing all the secondary quest), made another character and did the same. It can be really boring and it will take longer but it was worth the trouble.

Just look at the quest that will give you the Credits.

Decayed Orr Emblems trade for regular Eggnogs which like all level 1 drinks are vastly inferior to Spiked Eggnog. The fastest way to max Drunkard is through zoning and you'll need five regular Eggnogs per zone, but only one Spiked Eggnog. Thus, 1 Spiked Eggnog = 2 Singed Gargoyle Skulls is worth 5 Eggnogs = 15 Decayed Orr Emblems.

Even if you drink while adventuring, Spiked Eggnog is ideal since it's a 'fire and forget' solution whereas with regular drinks you'll have to keep track of your inebriation level to avoid wasting alcohol.
