In addition to all the old rewards players rememberfrom previous runs of Brewfest inWorld of Warcraft, fans can get their hands on a few new items this year. The Brew Barrel, a new toy that players can hop on and ride a short distance, is available to purchase for 200 Gold. However, one of the most exciting additions to this year’s collection is the Brewfest Armor Dragonriding manuscript for the Renewed Proto-Drake. This brew-lover’s barding can be found in the Keg-Shaped Treasure Chest dropped from the special Coren Direbrew encounter players can tackle during Brewfest.
Unfortunately, it seems only level 70 players can get Keg-Shaped Treasure Chests from the event. Players below the level cap get Keg-Shaped Treasure Boxes, which do not drop big ticket items like the Great Brewfest Kodo, Swift Brewfest Ram, or thisnew customization forDragonflightDragonriding mounts. Most holidays give lower-level characters the same chance to earn these rewards, but it seemsWorld of Warcrafthas changed this for Brewfest this year.
There are some new Brewfest-themed rewards and activitiesinvolvingWorld of Warcraft’s Trading Postas well. The Homebrewer’s Sampling Crest back piece is currently available in September’s Trading Post catalog for 500 Trader’s Tender. Additionally, by defeating Coren Direbrew once, and collecting 600 Brewfest Prize Tokens, they can earn 400 points towards completing their Traveler’s Log tasks for September–almost half of what they need to earn their monthly reward.
Players can also join in the Brewfest fun inWrath of the Lich King Classic.World of Warcraftjust revealed the Fall of the Lich King updatearrives on October 10. Considering Brewfest lasts until less than a week before this update, the holiday will give players tons of things to occupy their time before the gates of Icecrown are thrown wide. Players on both Retail andClassic WoWshould be sure to head to Orgrimmar or Ironforge to join in the festivities and earn fantastic rewards.
