Tomorrow September 20th sees the return of the World Event: Brewfest. In the past, it’s been a great way to earn vast amounts of gold, merely flipping two items. The items we’re interested in are Tremendous Tankard O’ Terror and Terrific Tankard O’ Terror these are looted from within the Keg-Shaped Treasure Chest. At this early stage, it’s unclear at what ilvl these weapons will be. Previously, the last Brewfest came before 8.3, thus bringing importance to the weapons as the high ilvl was a great way to gear alts with an ilvl 395 weapon/off-hand. Part of the ludicrous profit margins was due to the importance of the weapons ilvl but also the inability of casual players posting the weapons at the incorrect price point. Players were incorrectly posting the weapons and undercutting those from previous expansions. Also worth noting that when checking the tooltip, it showed ilvl 136, which in fact it was ilvl 395. I was buying all the ilvl 395 weapons between 1k and 10k gold and flipping them at 75k-150k (realm dependant); then they dropped off to approximately 35k-50k post 8.3. They still occasionally sell now, but not as prevalent at before the release of 8.3 due to ilvl 400 weapons from professions. I remind you, as of today September 19th it’s unclear what ilvl these versions will be, and with the pre-patch almost here, it’s vague as to whether these weapons will be near those from pre-patch, but time will tell. If they’re within the equivalent of normal Ny’alotha, then there may be a demand for them for alts. Their importance will be based off their ilvl, which in-turn dictates their potential profit, so keep checking your Auction House throughout Brewfest for cheap weapons. It the weapons are not your cup of tea, remember there are several other flips available to us which generate some decent profit margins. Here are some ideas. Pint-Sized Pink PachydermStout Alemental If you farm dungeons or Raids at Blackrock Spire, and you haven’t acquired the Direbrew’s Remote yet, I suggest doing the daily dungeon queue for Coren Direbrew; this is where Keg-Shaped Treasure Chest drops once you complete the dungeon objective. You may be lucky to loot a decent BoP Trinket, BoP Mount, the Direbrew’s Remote or as mentioned above, the Tankards. As a kind reminder, remember that when the event is available, items will drop in price, and when the event has finished, the items will become more profitable. So if you feel there’s value, pick up any cheap items on the Auction House. If you’re unsure, always check our trusted friend The Undermine Journal and check those stats. Please remember to justify the ilvl of any Tankards before purchasing them. Here’s some images of my Tankard purchases and sales that I could find. More to follow if I find them!
