Talk:Shamrock Ale

I got one dropped from a Kournan Military... -- Alperui 15:16, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I just got on from sorrow furance. -- Our Lady of Health

It looks like it drops like the other event stuff. If you are solo farming for example, most of the time a creature would drop something for you, this won't replace a drop but will be dropped in addition to what you normally would get. -- Giehox Nemesis
 * Yup, one just dropped for me from a Kournan in Bahdok Caverns. AqueneMosi 15:28, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

Gotta love the aspenwood drops :P --Gimmethegepgun 15:31, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

Just got one from a Ruby Djinn in the Hidden city, same deal as the clovers I think in terms of drops

I don't know if this info will help but: I'm solo farming wardens. Out of 9 mobs (smallest of the mob sizes is 4 wardens, largest is 6) I've gotten 4 ales and 2 clovers. -- Giehox Nemesis
 * It's probably the same everywhere, so it's just best to go where you get the fastest kills. Foo 16:18, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't think so, the low level mobs seem to be about half the drop rate62.190.230.92 22:08, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I agree, I have been farming dragon mosses and charr, and I usually get 1 or 2 from about 20 charr and 2 to 3 from 12 dragon mosses. Ressmonkey 10:34, 17 March 2007 (CDT)
 * It's really subjective. I got lots from charr. Foo 11:47, 17 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I got a Shamrock ale off a practise dummy in Churrhir Fields! Weirdness. Mocax

So anyone know how long one of these lasts? Is it like regular ale or spiked eggnog? Nevermind, found it.Enigma 16:28, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

Anybody have a screenshot of this, does it look any different from other alchoholic things? I got my screen. It can be seen at http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:Shamrockalescreen.jpg   Ressmonkey 22:26, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

I got five at FoW yesterday night. The note is not true.--Crigore 07:54, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

How about Fafranur, The First City explorable? There is some kind of "room" with lots of lvl 2 skales, killed all + all undeads in the city and have no special drops (besides black dye :P). Can anyone try to go there and comfirm, that there are no drops (or is it only my luck)? --DragonLord 12:27, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

i know the spot you mean but when you farm normally(so when there is no special event) they dont drop anything so i think that because they normally dont drop anything they will not drop any special item now either.
 * Wrong, they do drop. The Black Dye I have today dropped from them, as well as lot of (shitty) stuff. Still need comfirmation about special drops, even Animals do drop it tho they can`t drop anything else. I killed about 20 or more undeads and have no special drop neither. --DragonLord 13:32, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

Mid-level vs low level: Farmed gargoyles at Nolani academy (L6-8) and got a bunch of ales and clovers. Ascalon city (L3-6) got 2 ales and 2 shamrocks after a full run around the map. Kamadan (L1 monsters) received nothing. The drops do not appear to be the same across monsters Alan Firehazard 14:22, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

Drop Rate: I just did some preliminary numbers (3 farm runs on Hulking Stone Elementals, and 8 runs of Nolani)

Hulking Stone Elementals Shamrock Ale: 1 (0.67%) 4-leaf clovers: 3 (2.01%) nothing: 145 (97.32%)

Charr Shamrock Ale: 6 (3.92%) 4-leaf clovers: 3 (1.96%) nothing: 144 (94.12%) Z64freak 14:35, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

It looks like Vermins got some nice drop rate as well, dropping like crazy from them... --DragonLord 16:05, 17 March 2007 (CDT)


 * I did some farming outside Shing Jea and got one shamrock ale and one four-leaf clover from about 50 mobs. Gave up and went off to kill undead outside the bone palace and instantly got a shamrock ale. Atma 17:32, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

I have been playing on my permanent pre-searing character, and I noticed that the Shamrock Ale and the Four-Leaf Clovers dropped from monsters such as Lvl 0 River Skale Tads to level 10 Charr bosses. I don't see any correlation as one species prevailing over another, but I did notice you get fewer drops when killing mobs (Fire Storm on Gargoyles for example, or bandits). If you take them one at a time, you may get a few with little to no effort. Not to brag, but Jaw Smokeskin dropped 1 Vial of Dye [Black], 1 Shamrock Ale, and Flame Wielder Trappings, all on one kill.

Made my own drop rate for Vermins: 166 Vermins killed 15 Ales obtained = 9.03% 11 Clovers obtained = 6.63% Looks like way better than Charrs, now going for kitties (will be hard to count :/). --DragonLord 08:46, 18 March 2007 (CDT)
