Brewing: Where'a mah chocolate?

Post#1 » Sun Feb 14, 2010 8:17 pm

So as I embark upon the quest for ornate pofire armour I must now learn to brew. Now, there seems to be a number of routes I can take to get my skill up into the required 200+ zone but the one route I thought would be nice and logical seems to be cut off because of a conspicuous lack of chocolate in the world of Norrath!

The recipe:

Miner's Mud (http://www.thehiddenforest.org/recipe.php?id=7754)
Trivial at 255 (perfect)

Ingredients:

Chocolate (1)
Steaming Water (1)
Generic Coffee Beans (1)

------------------------

After our first evening of exploring the plane of fire I have amassed over 100 Steaming Waters. I thought this would be to help me build up my brewing skill, much like the Air-Infused Waters helped me build up my smithing skill for the Kael armour.

The four recipes that Steaming Water is used in are all a bit too much (would involve a lot of foraging/farming I don't have time to do) except the recipe above, where I can buy the coffee beans from Riwel in THV.

Chocolate was the final ingredient and it sounded so generic that I thought it must be vendor bought; indeed, I should be right as the live database shows it is freely available in abysmal, east freeport and elsewhere.

Riwel doesn't sell it so I thought "fine, I'll go to Abysmal Sea" and upon locating the three brewing vendors there I was saddened to see no chocolate at all, despite them supposedly selling it on live. Indeed, the alla clone suggests chocolate is not available anywhere in the game on this server.

There are alternatives for me, I know: the most obvious being Taelosian Tea which is entirely vendor bought. Yet it would seem so much more logical if I could actually use the hundreds of Steaming Waters I am certain to loot in the coming days of questing for my Ornate armour.

In short:

Can I has chocolate now, please? If not, then it's no big deal but is there a reason it's been removed? Whatever that reason might be and in the event that I cannot have chocolate for brewing, what is the purpose of the Steamed Water dropping in such abundance?

PS: Ideally, Riwel would sell it, if you can add it :)

Win!

Thanks, Lillu :) I'd make everyone some Miner's Mud but it's, frankly, a crap drink :)

With that said, do you really think it's mud? Dwarves love to pull fast ones...

Non-Dwarf: "So, what is this?"
Dwarf: "Take another drink."
Non-Dwarf: "This is pretty good. What's in it?"
Dwarf: "Take another drink..."
