EverQuest
II’s Brewday 2010 is in game now through March 22^nd. Get in on the
fun by visiting your local portal into the Bar of Brell. These portals can be
found in Antonica near the North Qeynos gate, in the Commonlands near the gate
to West Freeport, in Greater Faydark next to the stables, and in Gorowyn at the
docks.

You’ll
find several quests inside the Bar of Brell plus you can get a quest from the
Avatar of Below that roams in Antonica this time of year.

Quests are
available even if you’ve completed them in previous years. New rewards are
offered, some useful, some fun, and some just to pretty up your house. Get in
game this week and check it out and have some fun! 

 

[protip]Plan ahead! Many of these quests take you into the same zones. Pick up all of them at the same time and complete them all before
you turn them in. It will save tons of time if you coordinate your efforts. Also remember to check the locations for the collection quest so you don't
forget to gather those while you are out and about.[/protip]

 

Valla
Brewhammer's Special Brew

Valla
poses the riddle “Through the eyes of ale you see it. With your hands you pick
it. It is wild, noble, golden, emerald, and godly.” Nope, she is not talking
about your boogers ya sickos. She is referring to the harvests of the bountiful
Brewday garden shrubs found around the newbie zones (Antonica, Commonlands,
Greater Faydark, Darklight Woods, and Timorous Deep). These sparklie green
shrubs will yield the following items which you need to collect all of:

• Brell
  barley
• noble
  hops
• golden
  grapes
• wild
  yeast

• emerald clovers (a rare drop)

Brell's
Everlasting Brew

Rasel
Alechaser sends you on a dangerous mission to collect ingredients from around
Norrath. There will be debauchery and questionable behavior, but it is all in
the name of Brell which makes it totally okay.

• Gather
  pure water from all of the following zones: the Commonlands, Antonica,
  Nektulos Forest, and Thundering Steppes. These can be found in any major
  body of water in these zones and appear as sparkling blue harvestables.
• Take
  Prew’s hops. The farmer in Thundermist Village in Thundering Steppes doesn't
  give them up easily. Tip Betsy the cow, wait for the farmer to run to her
  rescue then snatch the hops.
• Return
  to the Bar of Brell and zone into the private bar at the top of the stairs.
  To get Jimmy to give up the goods (he glows green when he’s just the right
  amount of messed up), talk to the bartender and get Jimmy these drinks in
  this order:

  • Strong black coffee

  • gnomish spirits

  • dwarven ale

  • gnomish spirits

  • dwarven ale

  • gnomish spirits

• Speak
  with Rasel Alechaster to get Brell's prayer. Right click the prayer to
  recite it and be zoned into the Sanctorium of Brell. Choose the wooden stein
  for the trial.

Reward

Return to
Rasel to claim your reward for all that hard work! You’ll score your choice of a
few items including the Brell cloak and a tapestry for your home.
