What's the best town to buy alcohol? - Guild Wars Forums

Kinda a stupid question, but what town is the best to buy alcohol in? I don't mean at the merchant, I mean from other players. I've done it in LA and Kamadan but I spend a lot of time standing there before I get any. I thought maybe ascalon since people who come up from pre farming start there but got no response at all. Is there generally a better town to buy it, or are LA and Kamadan my best bets?

i would also try buying monastery credits and imperial recommendations in kaining and at the monastery. you can trade them in for alcohol and they usually sell for 100g.

You could try getting Battle Commendations in Kamadan. It goes slow sometimes, but from time to time you'll find a seller with 50+ commendations to give you a nice boost.
When I'm shopping for them, I'm working on my drunk title, so it's not a complete waste of time.

Thank you. I work on my drunk title too while buying but I don't want to run out and I only have 1 stack left (and I'm only 2500 minutes into it)

Turn off your AA from the graphics settings and work on your title while doing the Snowmen's Lair in EoTN. Rather then just standing around and drinking, you can be earning more free booze.

Heh, turn off AA... that's a little ironic.

Also, the great temple of bathazar is a great place to by firewater off people who opened the Zaishen Chests (at least when it was first implimented).

If you have Eye of the North you can always do Fronis Irontoe's Lair dungeon. You always get booze of some kind, either dwarven ale or aged dwarve ale.

New Orleans is with out a doubt the best town to by booze in, plus no open container law sos you can walk right out the door with it upon purchase in a bar.

Also while check the "Party Search" button when your in a town, it will list things people are selling, thats what I've been useing as of late to sell/buy stuff instead of just trying to keep up with all the trade chat spam. And try to be in Dist 1, thats where most of the trade spammers are that type things differentlly so it wont show in trade chat or in the party search.
