Subject: FW: Update to Brewing


I'm resending this due to popular demand on brewing.
(Hey come buy my banded armors lah, support ya friendly guild smithy man!!!)

From: LKW <leekw13@...>

Just an update of Sereph's Brewing Guide.

1. 1 x Mend requires 1 hops, 1 malt (not barley), 1 yeast, 1 cask
2. ? x Short beer requires 1 barley, 1 hops, 1 malt, 1 cask
3. 3 x Short ale requires 1 barley, 1 hops, 1 flast of water, 1 cask
4. ? x Ogre Swill requires 1 froglok meat, 1 malt, 1 yeast, 1 cask
5. 5 x Ol 'Tujim's Fierce Brew requires 1 Yeast, 1 hops, 1 Barley, 1 Malt,
1 Cask

All ingredients (1s7c) except froglok meat and cask can be found on the
female npc merchant near West FP zone to North FP. Cask can be found
inside tavern (outside bank at North FP) at 3s5c.

Suggestion is to buy at least 20-40 sets of ingredient before you start
making brews. This will reduce the zoning time used up in buying
ingredients (West and North FP). H/w, Sereph mentioned a brew barrel in
West FP, maybe that's better in reducing traveling time. Purchasing time
can also be reduced if you have packpack on you, they are sold at the Monk
Guild at 6g4s

Based on further experiment last night, seem like we can improve the
training by abit:
Skill 0-40:
Make mend. Buy 40 sets of ingredients.
DO NOT spend any skill points on brewing if it's already in your skill list
(under Persona Screen). Just buy the ingredient and start making, your
skill will rise to 1. Seem like for low skill lvl, you skill rise by one
everytime you make a mend, whether sucess or fail.
Skill 40-65
Make short ale, Buy 40 sets of ingredient
Skill 66-max
Make Ol 'Tujim's Fierce Brew. Buy 80 sets of ingredients.
Max skill for me is 135 instead of Sereph's 138. Seem like the cap is not
fixed between 135 and 138. Maybe race and class play a part here.

Once max, continue making Ol 'Tujim's Fierce Brew. The profit may not be
attractive for high lvl players but it's definitely good money for low lvl
players, esp newbies. The max initially investment of 10pp should be more
than enough to max out skill in 2-3 hrs. I think rather than giving basic
stuffs to newbie kakis, teaching them this skill and contribute 5-8 pp for
their training shld be more than enough to get them to stand on their own
feet.

Million thx to Sereph for sharing his precious trade skill power-training
info with us ;)

Ziltus.
