grogs are 5 points

i started with 150k, and im gonna end with nearly 500k

Sorry to burst your Bubble, but they are only 3 Points... People will buy them for 400 to 450...so your 500k is greatly inflated.

Farmed 2 stacks....giving them to guildies.. Got 8 Champ Points. Good Weekend.

Relatively effortless Drunkard title.

Now I just have to attempt to justify standing around double clicking for hours on end.....actually I might sell them.

Thanks Anet.

when they started dropping on Thurs they were 5 pts. I used one on my pre char that had no drunkard pts, and insti drunk. 3 min on the drunkard title.

I can't say what they were giving on Sunday though. I just raptor farmed in my spare time and got an easy 200+. I'm drinking all mine though.

anyways, cool drop. going through dungeons with the screen not even functioning as a prot monk is leeeeet.

We need more PVP and PVE event every week, instead of taking turns, this was great.............. it will encourage more players to try both sides of the game IMO.

Yeah, I have to thank A-net for this one. I am not one to collect any type of alcohol for the drunkard title (despise titles), but they actually were rather unique. For most part, I collected wide variety of them throughout the weekend. So thanks for the weekend A-team.

They're considered only 3 minutes because that's the most a single one will ever contribute to your title.

GrimShade · Sep 23, 2008, 01:28 AM // 01:28

Completely understood. Max drunk is lvl 5, or 5 ales. This will add 3 min to your counter as lvl 1 and 2 don't count to the drunkard title. Thus a lvl 5 drink will add 3 min to your title.

Since the Merch rate of Alchy is 200g for 1 ale, and 1 ale = 1 Drunk level, not min drunk. 150 per 1 drunk is an ok price to pay. If you had to get to lvl 5 drunk with Dwarven ale you are looking at 1 plat. 750 g for grog after it's not droppable is reasonable although lower prices are nicer. 400g for grog is well worth it.

All this and I never bother to check was Firewater goes for. doh

Amnel Ithtirsol · Sep 23, 2008, 11:32 AM // 11:32

@ astro
U wait a bit b4 selling and 18 stacks could easily be 1.8mil

And I thought I had a good weekend lol...

WinterSnowblind · Sep 23, 2008, 11:56 AM // 11:56

I didn't even get one full stack, and I was playing quite a bit. Do you guys do anything else?

But yeah, it was a good weekend, it's the first thing in a very long time that actually made me feel like playing again. More original little weekends like this would be great, but it would be nice if they were a little more advertised. If I hadn't logged on to check for a birthday present, I would have totally missed it.

astro reaping · Sep 23, 2008, 01:34 PM // 13:34

over a mil for 18 stacks?

i thought resell on char stacks in post
was only 20k each?

Jecht Scye · Sep 23, 2008, 07:53 PM // 19:53

I got a little over one stack of grog. I didn't farm my butt off by any means though. Maybe 4-5 hours of raptor genocide.

Dzjudz · Sep 24, 2008, 03:52 PM // 15:52

I made around 500-600k from Thursday night (start of drops) to Sunday night. Pretty good in my book, all my chars have elite armor now.
