Grand Theft Kodo

Hello there !

Sit down, grab a drink and join me in the madness that is Brewfest for a bit. It's been on live since the 20th but i just started to get into it yesterday, and i must admit it's still as fun as it was last year.
The barrelrun are made easier i reckon, correct me if i'm wrong but i spotted an additional basket of fruit alongside my path this year? Anyway, once you get the route straight you'll get a massive amount of tokens this way, it's really, really easy.
The barkingquest (which wasn 't bugged from the start this year \o/) is also very easy, once you barked at everything you can just hop off the ram and mount your normal mount and speed away to victory :P
Now, the new addition to brewfest: the additional boss in BRD. The setting and how you can get to him are very well done, you climb in a sort of drilldevice and dig yourself a way to the boss, which is extremely cool. The boss also has a short respawntimer when you kill him, so you don't have to reset the instance every time that way you can farm him as many times possible.
And i say possible, because to engage him in combat you need the daily quest for it.
The loot he drops is fairly good and is on par with some of the badgepieces (trinkets, dagger) and -as usual with a seasonal boss- he drops cool gimmicks.
For example you can get a trinket that summons a beermaiden that will aid you in combat, or you get an item that can create a portal directly into the Grimm Guzzler.
But the main loot is probably the mount, either a brewfest ram or a kodo that seem to have a small percentage of dropping. It was weird to log in IF and see a bucketload of people on kodo's, so the percentage is high enough to have this much of a saturation atleast :P

Anyway, that's it for this small post as college is awaiting my heroic return again.
