Maltheas shows off his Brewday swag.
Brewday, the thinly veiled St Patrick’s day celebration, has returned to Norrath. All the quests from previous years are back, along with some holiday harvesting and crafting. Here, Maltheas is modelling his new craftable Brewmeister Backpack, along with the cheerful looking Carpet of Clover quest reward. The carpet is a handy bit of kit for any newer player, being a 35% speed mount. It’s not quite so useful for older characters, but it is so jolly that I think Maltheas will ride it for a while anyway.
Pink elephants. That wasn't lemonade though.
Maltheas follows the teachings of Rodcet Nife, the Prime Healer, diligently. So it is that he never drinks alcohol, except for when he must assist Snoogle in tracking down a number of very odd creatures. They can only be seen while inebriated, so for half an hour every year, Maltheas staggers about the land squinting at things, and wishing Norrath would stop spinning about so much. In the above picture, he has just managed to track down the elusive Pink Elephant.
The Avatar of Brell, god of Crafting. Here seen asking Maltheas to get a round in.
Brell, patron god of brewers, is tromping about Antonica as he is wont to do at this time of year, forever in search of a selection of fine beverages. This year he is giving out the recipe for the Brewmeister Backpacks as one of his reward options, so Maltheas decided it best to indulge him. You would never see Rodcet Nife engaging in such embarrassing behaviour.
Great blog, thanks for the info on Brewday.
Thanks :) I always enjoy these seasonal events. They give a sort of rhythm to life in Norrath.
