Brewfest Timing and Trinkets

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion

So with a planned release date of Sept 26th, and Brewfest typically running from late September to early October, what is the current plan for brewfest?

TBC Launched in June and by the time Brewfest came around, it was nice to have variations of the badge vendor trinkets available as Brewfest rewards. P1 was already well underway and it was a good catch up trinket for those slightly behind, or a way to double dip on the badge vendor trinkets for the min/maxers.

Would Brewfest be actively going during the prepatch event leading up to WotLK launch?
Could Brewfest be delayed until February or so?
If Brewfest opens in Prepatch with a 3.3.5a game client, will the brewfest trinkets that drop at level 70 match the level 80 ones? Would we even be able to participate in the BRD area?

Some things to think about :slight_smile:

you’ll be messin about in prepatch or starting your 70-80 journey. Wouldn’t that impact your mount collecting abilities?

no? it takes half an hour at most to do the 5 runs for a mount, less if you have a healer or a tank alt. I also dont sympathise with the meta-slaving grindstone mentality of most min-maxers and i wont autistically quest and dungeon grind to max level non-stop, i would love a nice diversion with brewfest farming.

In all likelihood they’re just gonna delay the event or release it early.

Honestly, if they were smart they’d disable brewfest dungeon rewards for release. It’s too much of a power spike to starting characters.

My guildies have been wondering about the Brewfest stuff too.

We probably won’t know for quite some time (and it getting delayed until Februrary etc is super unlikely), good questions though.

Hopefully the 50% will carry over.

With how long I used double Brewch in TBC, I’m gonna really want to get the Brewfest trinket on my main if I could. I’d have liked to get it on my alt as well, but… better than nothing.

Many people probably getting screwed on this thanks to Blizzard’s awkward wrath release date. History has already shown that they don’t care about seasonal events either. Last time quests were broken or missing, max tickets/rewards unobtainable, nothing done to compensate for the waste, it’s pitiful.

Good question.

I looked up the dates on in game cal in retail and Brewfest is set for Sep 20 - Oct 6

I suspect, but am not sure, that once reset on the 27th hits the new expansion loot table will be loaded. But who knows for sure?

That’s the worst outcome possible, everyone will be leveling.

I believe it should be delayed.
Pre patch will be in client 3.3.5 a
meaning the world events will all be lich king versions
It should be delayed for at least 1 to two months after lich king is released

O.o You can’t delay Brewfest. It’s always been at this time.

It’s a mirror of the real-world Oktoberfest which is Sep 17th to Oct 3rd.

FF14 celebrated halloween in January or February this year. Imagine celebrating Oktoberfest IRL, and then getting to do it again in game later.

Does anyone not drink their favorite adult beverage while doing brewfest activities?

There is precedent here as when TBC launched they delayed Midsummer by a few weeks.

I’ve been wondering this exact same thing, so I’m glad someone finally posted it here. I already have the Ram on multiple characters, but it’d be super nice to be able to save some badges on the trinkets early on.
