Direbrew is a special boss who can be encountered for the duration of Brewfest, and drops special rewards including epic weapons, trinkets, and rare mounts. You can do it more than 5 times a day. We did it 5 times, then started to switch ppl, and ported them into the instance, so they could aggro the boss.
Comment by To get to the Grim Guzzler quickly and easily, look to the right just when you enter the instance. There will be 3 level 70 dwarfs hanging around the tunneler controls. This will cause a tunneler to appear that will transport you straight to the Grim Guzzler pub.
Talk to the Brewfest spy and then off to see Mr. Direbrew for a short chat and a punch up! Just like your average Friday night in any town in the U. Comment by Hello. My friend and I were going to down this guy for the trinkets and the chance at a cool mount , but we're confused about what we have to do.
We haven't done any Brewfest quests or things yet, are there pre-reqs to getting that daily you guys were mentioning that you need to down this guy? Where do we pick the daily up from? Thanks in advance. Comment by Liri 'Healing' trinkes do not currently share a cooldown. This means you can pop a 'healing' trinket and promptly hit a spelldamage one for a hard punch. Comment by barak0 just a quetion. Was very surprised! Not a bad dagger at all, comparable to the Emerald Ripper.
Comment by We killed Coren like 10 mins before dailies reset and my daily dropped the Ram and 2 epics, then we waited until 10 mins later for dailies to reset and on my daily again the Kodo dropped. So as of this time he drops both Ram and Kodo mounts. Some Ret paladin won both. My group calls me the designated Mount Dropper lol, he drops both the Kodo and the Ram for both factions, just a matter of luck I guess. Comment by Ok, small farm team today went in, killed him approx 25 times no one had wowhead looter running : He does drop all the 41 badges trinkets, and He does drop both specialty mounts for either faction.
We are alliance and my friend got the ram, and another got the kodo, along with another item called direbrew's remote, which allows someone to port their entire team directly to the bar for the fight.
We achieved that many kills by swapping out our Dpsers to get more people in, and by doing it right before the dailies reset. So, it is confirmed he DOES drop both mounts, along with the one hour cooldown "port" it's a mole machine like the dark irons use also, you DO NOT need to clear the instance to kill him, when you enter, you can turn right and use the mole machine controls to be ported to him.
He does do a whirlwind attack that hits very hard and stuns, with a chance to disarm, just stay away when he does it. Overall, he is the easiest seasonal boss to date, and drops some of the coolest loot, i wish you luck in getting the mounts, my farm team will continue throughout the event so maybe i can get one too :.
Comment by smoo To give you an idea about drop chances I know its based on luck : I did 32 kills of him since last night, and we only had the ram drop once. No kodo yet. Get your 4th, weakest dps to attack her to get aggro and take the barrels, and when they have decent aggro go back to Direbrew. Comment by jus wanted to add, u DONT have to fight to the grim guzzler. Comment by ok, jus noticed someone ask.
Comment by this guy can be 3-manned with a prot paladin, one good healer, and one good dps. Comment by As of today sept 20, He drops the Kodo for the alliance, Im assuming he also drops the ram for horde. Have only seen the kodo drop myself though im alliance Dont know if this is a bug or not, sure hoping not, i plan on farming the crap out of him till i get the kodo. Comment by Kurasu Techniques for defeating this NPC: As mentioned above, he will spawn multiple level 70 normal adds on the group as the fight progresses.
Our group found it very useful to have a dedicated add-buster in our case a mage to handle these, while the rest primarily focused on Direbrew. Occasionally, he will summon his girlfriend? Ilse is a level 70 elite, who I didn't get to see do a lot that was particularly special, but keep in mind that I was DPS, so I wasn't the one getting hit.
Corrections here are quite welcome. Hoqwever, killing her just means that she will be respawned later, so if you have a tank who can take the hits, it is better to simply tank her and continue the DPS on Direbrew, himself. Direbrew will occasionally use an attack known as 'Direbrew's Disarm'. This can do over damage on mail. It is imperitive, therefore, that people don't catch aggro and move out when this attack is begun.
He will also occasionally summon some 'spirit adds' who will throw brews at the enemy, doing damage, occasionally stunning, and tossing a free brew into your inventory.
Now and again, the tunneling machine will pop out of the ground in the fight, causing no damage but flinging you into the air and interrupting casting. Because of this, people may want to keep an eye on where they're standing. In particular casters. Finally, though definitely not the least, Direbrew will occasionally hurl an aggro-dampening effect on the tank which will stun him for several moments, rather like a scattershot. He will then go for the next person on the aggro-meter until the tank recovers.
This can be deadly for mages and healers, since his 'Disarm' attack can one-hit them. It is not difficult for the tank to get aggro back after the stun has worn off, but for those five to ten seconds ish your clothies are very exposed; prepare to protect them! All in all, it's a basic tank n' spank with some adds, I find. Just keep your add-killer on the adds, keep your tank up he doesn't hit terribly hard except for the special , watch the beer-flingers, and have a little fun!
Comment by Larch I meant that two are available from other holidays. Comment by jaldaan Confirmed that the drops for Alliance. This mob is summoned similarly to the Headless Horseman, but you don't need to reset the instnace. He will simply respawn a short time after he's killed. However, doing the quest to make him attack you is a daily, so a group can only kill him up to five times, if each group member hasn't done the daily already.
Out of the fives times I did it, the AP trinket dropped three times, the kodo dropped once, and the healing trinket once. And I'm not sure what other trinket dropped. Comment by Apocalyptic Anyone know the drop rate on the Ram and Kodo? Yesterday I got the ram on my 3rd run.
Today, I've done him about 15 times and the ram has only dropped once. No Kodo yet. Comment by Is this doable as a daily? I did it last night before the dailies reset, and logged on again today to do it again but wasn't able to find the quest giver in Kharanos.
I was able, however to do my other brewfest dailies. Do I just go back to BRD? Also, for what it's worth I was in a group that 4 manned it, with me a rogue tanking, while being healed by a smite priest and a resto shaman.
Comment by I can't see why anyone would join a group with 4 people that have already done the quest. If you have a fresh group, you can do it five times. Comment by This can indeed be done several times per day. I am somewhere around 40 kills since last night when Brewfest went live. So far, I've seen the teleporting item drop twice, and the Brewfest ram twice. Unlucky as I am, lost roll on all four occations.
It has an hour cooldown. Also very handy for the concert there :. Comment by Alliance can get the kodo mount, so i assume horde can get the ram mount My party got both and ram and the kodo mounts on our 2nd kill the kodo looks SWEET.
Comment by For those of you wondering, yes he can drop both mounts at the same time. I was running it earlier today and after approximately twenty runs, I had both mounts drop off the same kill. I lost on both of them but I submitted a screenshot of it happening. Comment by Pretty chaotic encounter, but quite easy with a t6 tank : Facts: -He can be done once per character in the instance. You can also summon in new people. We did it 11 times last night using alts. As this is most likely a bug, it probably be fixed very soon.
The Fight: Coren himself doesn't hit hard on plate, tank healing should not be an issue in this fight. He has two abilities: The drill and a Whirlwind. The knockback effect can be avoided by moving away as soon as you see rocks piling up on the ground beneath or close to you. The adds will prove a problem later in the fight if not killed, as the tank has a chance of being blinded. Will get back to that later At a certain point, Ilsa Direbrew will spawn.
She has a very weak ranged attack, tossing mugs at people that hit on mail for about damage, but she also has a potentially dangerous spell where she tosses a slightly bigger mug at a party member, spawning an alcoholic beverage in their inventory. You get 10 seconds to drink the beverage before she tosses you another one, at which point you will be stunned for 2 seconds if you drank the beer and 5 seconds if you didn't.
We could not seem to come up with a way of aggroing her, and the tank kept getting canned causing all the mobs including the boss to go for the next threat target. If there is a way to avoid this, please post it, as it is the major only problematic factor of the fight. The strategy we used, which seemed to work just fine, is to just go all-out on the boss, ignoring adds. Stay clear of the drills and healer run to the tank in between whirlwinds for some AoE tauntage if you're getting slammed too hard by adds.
Killing adds is another way of doing it, to reduce the devastating impact that a can on the tank's head can have. They're non-elites with pretty low HP talking normal lvl70 mob. Of course, if one were to find a way of aggroing Ursula, that shouldn't be much of a problem. Comment by Cyaxeres According to blue poster Kisirani: The drop rate isn't actually that bad.
I'll say this: if you've seen a mount one times in fifty, you've actually had bad luck compared to what the average is. The chance of getting a mount is five times greater than that of getting a Scorched Stone in Heroic Ahune, which was bumped up from Normal. Comment by My party and I just did this today. He is very easy if you do it right. Im a Prot warrior, had a resto shammy, ret pally, mage pyro I think and an elemental Shammy.
The ret pally consecrated and picked up the adds, healer watched party and mage AOEed when needed for the adds. Easy fight like this. The magic trinket dropped twice, the tank one once, and the mount dropped twice!
Comment by Lightja The loot table doesn't include Direbrew's remote , which can be used anywhere every hour to summon a drill that takes anyone in your party who clicks on it into the grim guzzler right in front of Coren Direbrew. Comment by Got my kodo on 47th kill. Comment by It appears as though this guy can range from 72 to Also they seem to have no real time on it, its very ramdom when they throw them, and they despawn out of your inventory in 30 secs not sure if thats the acctual number, im just estimating here.
On another note, his "whirlwind disarm" disarms you for only a few seconds longer then it stuns you The best strat. This is a very easy fight people. Also to note, if you fail Comment by I would just like to say i farmed coren for 4 hours yesterday and killed him about 70 times and we didnt see a single mount drop. I dont know if it was bad luck or the drop rate is really low. Still looking for kodo though i feel i have best luck with my dailies got pipe for my lock 1st day, shanker 2nd day, ram 3rd day, maybe kodo next time?
Anywho it is possible to farm with a lock as every1 knows, but my group does it ethically: since we can 4 man kill him very easily we summon in people who are not yet 70 and try to get them their trinkets, better then just stealing some 70s quest. The other 1 or 2 Alt non, but they can and should stay as far back as possible dpsers should focus on just Coren. At all times ignore his daughters they are a waste of time to kill and only do about damage on clothies, and i never find their stunn effect to be much of a problem.
The only time i wipe when every1 is working properly is the small chance a healer gets stunned right when the adds pile on a clothie it happens, not aggro mis management. But generally any healer will work. This is not the only way to kill coren just the most effecient way, yes you can quite easily kill him with 5 unpropperly specced people, but any 70 with any gear can use my method in group of 4 and easily surpass kills in 4 hours ive done it , with minimal wipes.
Just remember if you wipe you lose the kill and look like a moron! Comment by Im not sure about this but are the drop rates for the mounts extremely high?
And every1 rolled need on both so it wasnt like they just gave them to me. So im just wondering if that normally happens or was i just lucky? Comment by Tolki To my understanding, the Remote, the Mounts, and everything else are on seperate loot tables.
You can luck out and get three items on one loot, but if you see a Mount or a Remote you will still see a Purple every time. Also, the event is easy enough that you can bring random alts in in place of DPS that aren't saved for the day and continue trying for the mounts. I could accept the quest and aggro Direbrew on my 68 alt and it was yellow, so one could assume alts as low as 62 could start the quest although the lower they are the harder the event will be, of course.
Comment by Hey does anyone know how geared i should be for this fight. Personal Thoughts: Once everyone knows the fight it goes fast enough, and lowbies are usually thrilled for the invite even when they don't receive the mount. In the past 3 days of the festival I have killed Coren over 80 times, seen Kodo drop on 4 occasions, and the Ram once and now have both of them.
Comment by Pyhimys2 yo, i got little question i'd like to ask, and hope someone can answer it. Can lvl 30 enter to this Brewfest boss? Comment by can a low level say 40 minimum to enter instance loot the trinkets or mounts off him? Comment by Seprest moron dvalin mounts don't only drop from this guy, you can buy a ram and a kodo last year the horde could get the kodo and ram.
Fyi I would def ride kodo over my amani war bear, it has goldish armor all over it and its skin isn't as dull as other kodos. Comment by It was hard at first but I got it now! For those of you who are having problems killing him do this. What you do is have the mage or dps focus fire on him, the tank stands and tanks him. E tank that guy on a warrior. The warrior must get on it or the group may die. We try'd it 6 times and killed him every time when I was on my warrior killing adds.
Comment by Otakahunt You can kill him multiple times a day You just need players that have the quest. But with 1 grp you can only do it 5 times. Just do it 5 times with grp along with your quest , join another grp and do it 4 times, and join another and do it 4 times etc. But its highly unlikely that you will be taken if you dont have the quest. You can surely do him many many more times than 5.
I did him 8 times last night with 2 grps. Comment by alamar I've done this fight about 12 times, and in each I've been 'Kegged' barrel on the head in nearly every fight. Throughout the fights, I watched my inventory. Each time I got an ale Mug thrown into my bags, I drank it. The only solution I've seen is to kill Ursula Direbrew to stop the barrels entirely.
Comment by Do we have enough data on the drop rates by now? I find that quite lame from Blizzard to put such a high drop rate on an item only 3 classes can use, whereas the other trinkets are compatible with many more classes, and everybody wants the charms and mounts.
And what sucks is we usually end-up deleting them all the time since every shield class has one by now and they cannot be sold or DE'd. What drop rates have you seen so far? I have run this about 25 times so far and I've seen 3 charms and no mounts drop yet. Comment by If you have the remote , You can talk to the goblin by the L70ETC band set up and start them playing. Finally, a use for that buff. Comment by dree Can be done without a tank with the right group setup. Out of the five rounds we only lost aggro once, but the Warlock was resilient enough to survive it.
Rogue worked on adds, Hunter, Warlock and Mage burned down Coren. Completed five times in our group with no wipes. Comment by Each party member should turn in the quest to this guy one at a time so you'll have better chances of getting some epic trinkets or mounts.
You can also join a party for this guy even though you are done with the daily quest but one thing: Keep it a secret or be a tank or healer since dps are really common in many servers. It really depends if the party can allow you to join though. Comment by Sunwind why are the drop rates still not updated?
Comment by starting from brewfest for me anyway Comment by lormike Not sure but is this boss and his lackeys possibly a reference to the obscure martial arts film "The Last Dragon" refering to the main villain of the movie?
Comment by Drinking only changes the level shown on your client. It does NOT affect the battle at all. It is intended as a joke. You know, alcohol and overestimation of one's own capabilities Comment by Compared to Ahune during the Fire Festival, this guy's a cakewalk.
T6-level players should expect to down him in about a minute. The strategy I've been using all week is to simply burn down Coren. Being a Hunter, I'll always lay down a Frost Trap to slow the adds when they try to hit the clothies. The two barmaids are of little importance - drink the beer they throw, and keep dpsing. If the tank gets kegged, simply heal whoever coren goes after next until the tank can get back.
He should usually be able to get aggro back quickly enough. If this strategy doesn't work, then simply bring in one dps to take care of the adds. A hunter or frost mage would be ideal to stop them from running around too much.
My biggest aggravation with this guy is he almost never drops mounts for us. We run it with just the five of us and our alts, but we've done it every day thus far and have only gotten 2 rams. We regularly get the Lucky Coin and Healing trinket, sometimes to the point where it's all we get in one night.
Comment by Coren can drop both mounts off the same kill, i nearly crapped my pants when it happened. Comment by Damn i hate the drop rate of this stuffs.. Comment by Ewonhemer is there going to be a lvl 80 bersion of him? Comment by CamperCarl00 I'm guessing with all of the chances to get stunned, this would either be really hard to 1-man or near impossible.
Comment by I got a bad feeling he's going to have even more health this upcoming Brewfest Comment by birdstheword with the brewfast achievement coming in 3. Comment by XinR Is anyone interested in running that quest? Not many in my guild are interested in Brewfest or the Kodo, so reply here if you may wanting to run! I'll do it repeatedly if its that simple to get the guy without having to go thru whole instance. Comment by Kendeura k HP. The elite adds have hp, the drops are the trinkets that cost 25 emblems of heroism ilevel in Dalaran.
Really easy though, can be done by a tank alone, since they hit like crap. Wave at her for Brewfest Brew! Comment by irrevilent Quick update for 's Brewfest then! Coren's perhaps not as strong as he once was, the first lasting much less time than before. Coren: k health Brewmaidens: 32k health Minions: 10k health If the tank grabs the various adds and holds the boss, he'll be burned down in under 30 seconds and the mobs still despawn.
Enjoy your new Emblem of Heroism copy trinkets! Comment by Hoegen Just did 5 run-thru's. Since no one has written anything about the level 80 drops, I'd share the drops we got. Equip: Chance on melee and ranged critical strike, to increase your attack power by for 10 secs. Equip: Your direct healing and heal over time spells have a chance to increase your haste rating by for 10 secs.
Comment by annerajb I just did this boss he drops the badges trinkets but with level 80 stats a godsend when gearing up those alts you can easily save 80 badges if your class is a hybrid.
You do that and you only get one chance at the mounts instead of five. Comment by ridiculously easy fight If there is actually 2 stamina trinkets like there was last year then my tanking set is going to get a massive hp boost. Comment by he does drop level 80 trinkets equivalent to emblem of heroism ones seems that some of them do not share a cooldown ie.
Comment by kworry I was having trouble finding the new trinkets and drops so I figured I'd post what I'd found so far. I'll try to add more as I can. If Brewfest is two weeks long, then there are going to be a lot of people missing out on riding a ram.
Comment by TheRazielim He's still relatively simple even at If your DPS is strong enough and your tank tough enough to survive without heals, you can just zerg him. Comment by Soloed him just now, I'm lvl 80 prot paladin. Was pretty easy. So you tanks that are worried about not being able to do it, don't worry, you will.
Very simple fight and boss. People are posting strategy, but really, he dies too quickly for strategy to come into play. Comment by Drenlox hey coren, Instructor Razuvious called, he's sick of the neon blue look and wants his other pair of spaulders back. Comment by The trinkets that Coren drops do not seem to be disenchantable, and they have no vendor price. Therefore, those farming for the mounts will end up destroying a lot of these trinkets by the end of the event.
Not a huge deal, but as an enchanter, I hate to see epics go to waste Equip: Improves haste rating by Equip: Increases attack power by Mace Speed 2.
If you have all 2. We only used minor cds such as wings ghoul gargoyle nothing we culdnt use more then once in all 8 fights we did lots of alts lol and trinkets Fastest time was last try we blew all cds from fire ele-bloodlust-trinkets-unholy army-water ele he died in seconds lol we blew cds AS we insulted him so we didnt lose time.
Comment by I just got the boe mace weapon too like the previous posters mentioned. Comment by The itemlevel for Tankard O' Terror is off by Comment by Got Tankard O' Terror today. Treasuring in my humble dragon hide bag atm. Seems to be very rare, so waiting until we get a clear view over the real statistics, ie drop chance.
Funnier still, I haven't seen a mount drop! Comment by robog2 Confirmed. There is such a mace and it does drop only from Coren Direbrew.
Comment by 2 -manned. It's pretty easy up until the end and the adds start coming out like crazy. Dps seems to be the main thing in this fight. My tanking set is pretty much vendor stuff and reg toc. The longer your fighting the more adds start to pop.
Comment by taurehe A note to all balance druids out there: If you are fighting Coren, don't use starfall. Because it can aggro all the yellow level 50 people outside Coren's room. They arent hard to handle but your group might get very annoyed at you and it will scare the crap out of you. Lol I learned this the hard way :P. Comment by Just a bit of side information. You can get the Coren "summon" every day but, he will only drop "Direbrew's Dire Brew" that gets you 40 Brewfest tokens once per character per year.
So don't think of the Coren as an easy way to farm tokens. Comment by Kethas Just had him drop both the Shanker and the Tankard on the same kill. And I won all three of them!
I thought my party mates were going to kill me :D. Comment by Ketho This is an insult! An affront! They deny us participation in time-honored dwarven traditions! Are we going to hide in our mountain and let those swill-peddlers have their little shindig without us? We'll show 'em why you don't cross the Dark Iron dwarves! Smash their kegs! Comment by where to get the Grim Guzzler key? Comment by when fighting this guy at brewfest im gonna listen to polka Comment by Magnion Anyone know if his loot table is going to be updated to current gear levels?
Comment by bkevol in brewfest and , the trinkets always were identical to ones you could buy with lvl70 badges and lvl 80 emblems. Comment by For : You can find him using The Dungeon finder Tool Coren Direbrew hp is k and he will use in his encounter "Direbrew's disarm" which is an Aoe Disarm move he drops 1 Trinket every time u kill him ,1 quest item only once , 2 emblem of frost daily and 1 bag daily this bag can contain different thing till now it drooped for me emblem of frost x2 and in this bag u may get your Kodo Mount.
Comment by Ovahealz Fail, he doesn't drop the mount anymore, you only get 1 shot at it every day after you kill it, from there on, you get 2 free frosties so you can get your gear faster, pro. If you're 80 just click on LFG then select the Direbrew event then when he's defeated you get a 'keg'. In it you have the chace for the mounts. One keg per day. Comment by Aivoruoska Both mounts are still available and drop from bag.
