Certain quests have 1 alcohol item as a reward, and some collectors trade collectables for 1 alcohol item, however farming these quests/collectables is really inefficient.
Just do any farm that makes some decent money and buy alcohol from other players, that is without a doubt the fastest way to farm alcohol.

Other than that; farm like mad during special events like Wintersday etc And it's also advisable to buy alcohol during that time, as it generally lowers the price of alcohol.

Just farm for money and either buy them straight up or buy Kournan Coins from other players and trade them for Juniberry Gin from the Smugglers. Farming collectable drops (i.e. 5x Sentient Spores for a bottle of Vabbian wine) or through the end chest for dungeons (i.e. Snowman or Kilroy) aren't as efficient.

Just wait for the next special events (lunar new year, Valentine's D(??), etc.)... Otherwise, do the Fronis Irontoe dungeon in HM over and over again.

on a side note

Kilroy can be done on NM in under 6 minutes, if you gear your self correctly

the drops pay for the cost of lockpicks. And if you do it right you can farm several things at once.

not bad drops on the following there:

Dye
Lockpics
Gold weapons

And the Xp is very good considering.. So you can get Survivor stats there as welll

I got 3 characters to legendary survivor in there. and ended up with 500 alcohol at the end. plus countless req9 weapons and mods

weapon skins sucks, but they are perfect for heroes.

Kilroy's is about the only way to farm for grog, but 1 hour to farm at most 10 alcohol is a waste of time. Spending the money you made in that hour on alcohol is the way to go.

Alternately, do what the rest of us do and go nuts during Wintersday farming Gargoyle Skulls and Grawl Necklaces to exchange for alcohol at the collectors.

well 1 hour for 10 alcohols isn't that bad. Cause there is NO other way to FARM alcohol truly, its always gonna be a dungeon, and kilroys has 0 possibility of a whipe. plus you can use the money from the runs, which really isn't that bad, to buy more alcohol.

Lastly, if you were listening, it's also farming 5 titles, IF your going for drunkard, arguably the LONGEST Title to get, and one of the MORE expensive ones, I'd say that farming 5 max title tracks is probably PRETTY high up on your list of things to DO.

MisterB · Jan 25, 2008, 12:42 AM // 00:42

I'll have to go with Antithesis on this one. You can farm 10K/hr or more. You'll be able to get much more than 10 alchohols with 10K.

Farming during events on the other hand will generally get you more event alchohols than you can get farming gold to buy it, so that is worthwhile.

If you own factions alcohol isn't that hard to get.

Create a new character in the Factions campaign.
Run up to Ludo at the gate and ask to be let in.
Run to the exit into Sunqua Vale and accept the quest from Ludo (the party with a henchman one)
Add any henchman, zone into Sunqua Vale and accept the reward
Zone back to Shing Jea, trade your Monastery Credit to the Quartermaster for an ale and put it in storage.

Delete character and repeat

You might want to rephrase that to sound a little less hostile and immature when your precious opinion is challenged. You've already lost all cred in my eyes based on your responses in other threads, and you made no mention of farming 5 titles in your post in THIS thread, so don't throw stones in glass houses.

I don't give a crap if you can farm 5 titles here, the topic is "Farming Alcohol", not "tinygod's guide to inflating one's sense of self-importance". So don't think your input is of any real value when all you're doing is stating the obvious or re-posting information that is already widely known had you spent any time on this forum. Crawl back under your bridge troll and learn some manners.

Back on topic - the fact is farming specifically for alcohol is inefficient. Farming for money to buy alcohol is the quickest way to achieve said goal, unless a special event is on. It just so happens that Kilroy's is also a decent 10K / hour farm, which is about on par with most other farming locations.

Good idea, but ANet are targetting bots in Shing Jea, so you may get smacked with the banhammer if you are too efficient.

I like the way you randomly capatalize words. But on topic, if you really wanted to farm alcohol, even though i agree it would be easier to just farm, theres that bear hunters quest in pre-searing. I think they updated it though so that you could only get 1 per run. If you need a demo, pm in-game.

There is a Places you can farm for Alchohol. Do Killroy Stoneskin-Punch-Out Extransva the Chest reward is Booze you need and on the Winter Dungeon might drop Spike Eggnog or Eggnog.

show some manners yourself kiddo. i'm loving the completely random quote from another thread

I have no problems displaying manners when others are respectful to the general community. Afterall, most of us are here to either learn or to help.

There's been an influx of rude newbies on this board of late, and some of them need a gentle nudge to play nice or don't play at all. Perhaps instead the mods should direct them to Riverside with the rest of the great unwashed
