Talk:Drunkard

Drunkard Title
LOL, that is great. Any one want to figure out how much it would cost to get this title at 200 per Dwarven ale? I just dropped 1 plat on 5 of them and I got 3 minutes from it. --Rainith 01:16, 27 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Going off the basis that 5 gives you 3 minutes... 333400 gold. | Chuiu 01:34, 27 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Thank you it is much too late and I am much too tired to do the math. :P  --Rainith 01:36, 27 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Suddenly a good use is found for Witch's Brew and Spiked Eggnog. :) --DaveK 10:07, 27 April 2006 (GMT)
 * Finaly, a title to honor my Irish heritage. I was doing some in game expiriments and found that it takes 2 dwarven ales to get one minute. And at 200 per ale I found that it would take 400k to get drunkard, a very nice even number, if you ask me. Something I also think is important to note is that 1000 minutes translates to 16 hours and 40 minutes, better get drinkin boys! --Mystic 02:55, 30 April 2006 (CST)
 * In Talk:Dwarven Ale someone said said that it takes 3 ales for 2 minutes of drunkness, which means 300k and the same time. About 17 hours as you will have small intervals with drinking a new set each time. --Gem [[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 08:29, 30 April 2006 (CDT)
 * You must to drink 3 ales to get drunk and then after you get drunk you can make it to 1 ale/minute--83.102.28.69 04:31, 1 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, if thats the case, (and it would certanly make sense, just gotta keep the buzz) then all you need is 1002 ales at 200,400g. Still a lot of cash, but its half of what I first assumed. The title is acheivable once again! Mystic 01:21, 3 May 2006

The Drunkard track is another tiered title. To obtain the second tier "Incorrigible Ale-Hound", your character must spend 10,000 minutes drunk. --Mumblyfish 14:00, 01 May 2006 (GMT)
 * Wow, someone actually put in the time for that title. Very impressive. Now get to work spending 167 hours drunk so we can find the next title. :) LordKestrel 17:09, 3 May 2006 (CDT)

Maximize Your Beer Time
I recently bought quite a bit of beer to add to my drunkard title, and when I used about 30 at the same time I noticed that my vision was extremely blurred. That's not what surprised me though. What surprised me is that I didn't get nearly enough time as I thought I would, instead I received only a few minutes, around 3. I have a slow connection and have trouble seeing the drunkedness effect some times, so I can't test it. I'd also like to know if the holiday beers and Hunter's Ale have different drunkedness times. I'll try some testing of my own, but don't count on me too much. - 170.76.20.253 9:21 AM central time... hope I signed that right.
 * Only use 3 at a time and use them every 2 minutes to maximize your ... plasterdedness? | Chuiu 16:22, 2 May 2006 (CDT)

Do you know this to be a fact, or are you guessing, and does this also include Hunter's Ale?
 * Someone tested this. See Talk:Dwarven Ale. --Gem [[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 11:10, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
 * There was a good post (which I cant find atm) at guildwarsguru about drunkness. The author claimed that it is "level based" (not the character level): For each drink drunk, the "level" raises by one. The maximum level is 5, and with a level of 3 or higher, you are considered drunk. Each minute, your level decreases by 1. Haven't tested this, but it sounds very possible and would mean that you need 1002 drinks to get the title in the best case. --Xeeron 11:44, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Does this work on Hunter's Ale too? If so, I can use up my extra Monastery Credits on Hunter's Ale! --161.88.255.140 11:48, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
 * See Drunk for the drinks that get you drunk. I honestly haven't tested each one to confirm that they all work for the title, but I'm 90% positive that they do.  --Rainith 11:52, 3 May 2006 (CDT)

My ritualist drank 2 absinthe and no drunk progression appeared :S Skuld  16:46, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
 * General concensus is that you must drink 3 to become drunk, then 1 additional each minute to remain drunk. --Rainith 16:55, 3 May 2006 (CDT)

I have experiemented with Dwarven and Hunter's ale and have ~100 minutes towards my title. The effects are definitely "level" based. Each ale consumed in a short period of time increases the "level" and the visual effect. 3 "levels" seems to be the minimum required to receive credit for "drunkeness". Level 5 appears to be the maximum. You do not appear to receive credit towards the title for any ale consumed beyond level 5. Through careful application of additional ales, I have been able to stretch the actual time that the visual effects of levels 4 and 5 apply to ~90 seconds per ale consumed. Unfortunately, despite the longer visual effect I did not appear to receive additional time towards my title (the ratio appears to be 1 minute of credit per ale). I will do more testing soon as I have aquired nearly 500 ales. --JoJo 18:59, 18 May 2006 (CDT)


 * People willing to sacrifice themself for science taking upon them the horrible task of drinking tons of ale. I am glad for the heroic few ;-) --Xeeron 04:49, 19 May 2006 (CDT)

After some testing (no where near the title, I only have ~150 minutes), I've found that the time counts when a "level" of drunkenness wears OFF. I specifically experimented with hunter's ale, and soon will try with rice wine, as I have ~80 of them. But I think all work the same. There are five levels of drunkeness, each ale taking you an additional level. Levels 3-5 are the most distinct, causing more than just blur on visual objects, but more offset "ghosts" of the main image, like a bad TV. Anywho. Only levels 3-5 actually count for drunk title when they wear off. I've found the easiest is to drink five ales, then let two wear off, drink two more, let two wear off. I do this as the change is more apparent. If you want to stay drunk the longest (though this does not contribute toward the title time, it only extends visual effects), drink an ale and then wait until just before it wears off and drink another. This bumps you up a level and resets the timer. Amuzingly, I experimented with this while giving away free weapons (from all the troll tusks I had :P) in the monastery, so I was the drunken merchant, ahh well...Cyrogenic 15:51, 17 December 2006 (CST)

Pre-Searing
If anyone hasn't noticed, it is possible to get drunard in pre-searing. I think it's funny. You need to get Hunter's Ale from the hunters. There are only two bears right by, so that is 2 ale per run. Each run would take about 7 minutes i think. Since u ned 1002 ales, that would take 501 runs. So at 7 minutes a run, it would take u 3507 minutes/58 hrs and 45 minutes/about 2.5 days plus the 16 hrs 40 minutes neded to drink brings a total of 75 hours and 35 minutes for a Drunkard title. That's a little over 3 days. That means it would take a month of ur life to get an ale-hound in pre-searing. So theoretically, it could happen, faster if it takes u like 4 minutes a run or something, but u probably don't want to try that at home.
 * Those 1002 ales must be drunk in succession to get to 1000 minutes drunk. I don't think anyone has the time to continually refresh their drunk levels so... --220.233.103.77 04:58, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Cost Help?
Would anyone be able to tell me what the cheapest cost of any alcohol in-game is, buying from NPCs? I would guess it's 200g but I just wanna make sure before I start buying anything. I would check around on the Wiki but there might be something I'd miss. 68.63.46.251 07:01, 22 February 2007 (CST)

What's sad is that I've SEEN people in Pre-Searing with Incorrigible Ale-Hound. I'm not gonna lie, that's kind of like Legendary Survivor in terms of persistance, and reward. There's just no point. Kamahl the Fist 09:18, 25 February 2007 (CST)

My method
My method is to drink 5 ales at once, leave my guild hall (nomads if it matters) pop up in lions arch drink 5 more, return to guild hall, and repeat... You only get 3 minutes for 5 ales. I have accidentally done 4 ales and gotten 2 minutes and 6 ales and still only gotten 3 minutes. From this I would judge the post on guru that talks about the levels of drunk to be accurate to some degree. Ghan 05:24, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * drinking ales will result in this
 * decreasing from 5 to 4 +1
 * decreasing from 4 to 3 +1
 * decreasing from 3 to 2 +0
 * decreasing from 2 to 1 +0
 * decreasing from 1 to 0 +0
 * if i am correct.Fox007 11:00, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
