Brewing The skilled brewer can make both alcoholic and non-alcoholic brews. While many of these brews are mostly "just" to drink, some are also used for other tradeskills and/or quests. In later expansions, wonderous drinks that have stats have been added to the game and can be highly sought after. You'll find our latest guide for learning the art of Brewing below. Enjoy!

Getting Started

Brewing is performed in stationary containers. They can be found in many zones across Norrath.

• Brew Barrel
• Brewing Barrel
• Brewing Barrel (Placeable)
• Guild Brewing Barrel (Placeable)
• Portable Brewbarrel
• Tanaan Brew Barrel

OK, Let's GO!

First, make your way over to Crescent Reach and seek out Brewer Mesi on the ground floor of the main building and complete the four tasks she offers. If you prefer, there are also Freebie quest versions for Brewing offered in Abysmal Sea. Either of these paths will raise your skill to 54 with no additional costs.

• Crescent Reach Brewing Freebie
• Abysmal Sea Brewing Freebie
• Abysmal Sea Brewing Collect

Skill Modifiers

• General Information on Trade Skill Modifiers

After you've raised you skill to 54, head over to West Freeport and pay a visit to Event Coordinator Baublie Diggs and get the Beginner Brewing Test. This will give you the Beginner Brewing Trophy, a skill modifier that will evolve to higher modifications as your skill increases.

• Prophecy of Ro Brewing Trophy Quests

Notes:

• Always get your trophy once your skill is 54. It will have the easiest items to make/ingredients to find.
• You must equip your trophy to evolve it.
• Your trophy will not evolve if you're attempting/making recipes that are more than 100 points away from your current skill level until you reach 250.
• Your trophy will "catch up" quickly if you reach the next level before your trophy evolves.
• Only successful combines will evolve your trophy.
• General Information on Prophecy of Ro Trophy Quests

Alternatively you can acquire a Geerlok Fermentation Device from a tinkerer. That will add 5% to your base skill to help with successes. You must equip it in order to apply the boost to your base skill. The modifiers from the Trophy and the Geerlok do not stack. You will get the highest benefit between the two equipped items. Once you have evolved your trophy to Journeyman level, you no longer need the Geerlok.

Alternate Advancement Points

If you have already advanced one of your 7 standard tradeskills past 200, you will need to purchase one level of New Tanaan Crafting Master in order to raise your Brewing skill higher than 200.
