The Great Norn Alemoot
nbajammer
Somehow I don't think this quest is compatible with certain professions. I can't do it on my Monk at all - I've tried Mo/W with "Charge!" and Mo/R with Storm Chaser, Tactics and Wilderness Survival at 12 respectively - and at best I get 58 seconds to attempt to round up unresponsive pigs, or the pigs respond but quest doesn't update. Ally said to take nothing but run skills, but I don't get anything beyond additional speed - and I still run out of time. I get the impression after countless tries that the quest is somehow bugged or not working as intended because no matter what I try, my Monk cannot complete it. Any suggestions, or ideas if the quest is in fact bugged?

my war, rit, and necro have completed this with no run skills or speed boosts at all
some took a few tries.....just highlight the kegs/poles

Ok simple way to do it is, turn off post process effects in your graphics options. That way, when you get drunk, your screen does not go fuzzy and you are able to see what you are doing.
You dont need speed boosts but with them, when you get to the pigs, if you have done everything right, you should have more than a minute to round them up. Just run up to them and they flee in the opposite direction. With a little placement, you should easily have three pigs in there before the timer runs down.
You just need to perfect timing i.e. drink from kegs, put kegs near the flag, run back and drink from kegs, run around the slalom (pass on the side of the hand as close as possible), go back and drink from kegs, round up the pigs.
Alternatively, you could round them up before you start the quest but that does take quite a while to do as you have to stand directly in front of them for them to respond.

Have they fixed the bug/exploit/only-way-I-ever-managed-to-beat-it?
I just took the quest but didn't speak to the guy when I zoned in - I thought I'd do the tricky part first and herd all the piggies. Took ages as they weren't actively herdable, but as soon as the last one went in, BAM! - quest complete; no drinking, no drunken slalom

I dunno what the big deal is. That quest was really easy. I use a ranger, but I never used any skills at all on that quest. Just run through it, take the shortest path (straight line), and don't spend any time farting around. The hardest part is rounding up the pigs, but it only took me two tries to beat the quest.
Oh, and I recommend not turning off the drunken effects. If you do that, then what fun would the quest be? I laughed myself silly during the whole quest. GW could use more quests like this one.

I did this with my little monk, with no speed buffs. It took me a couple of tries but pulled it off. Turning off post process effects helped a lot in the end

i don't think they nerfed it yet, or fixed for that matter (slalom regristration is so damn bugged)
and bringing a pet might work out for bodyblocking the pigs into the little house ^^

Well I just packed a load of running skills and away I went. Only annoying bit was the pigs as they spawn points and movement can be slightly random.
Abe Grey
I did this quest yesterday. Don't talk to anyone when you get there, round up 3 pigs to the pen and presto finished quest. no run skills needed no turning of post process effects. just round up the pigs and get your reward.
Morianna Nightshade
does anyone else have a problem with the pigs not reacting to you in this quest??
Marty Silverblade
This quest pissed me off because the pigs don't move, but I was lucky one and 2 pigs spawned inside the pen leaving me with only one to put in. It is doable though, but it'd be very tricky without speed boosts.
Cherno
Yep, all the piecs are doable by all professions. The luck involved on the pigs is the biggest and most annoying factor in this quest. You have to have a lucky spawn if you don't have speed boosts. Even if you do, lucky pig spawn is important. Stupid quest.
Feathermoore Rep
This is massively easy. Its just like the old prophecies quest. The pigs move in the opposite direction of you in a straight line. So if its aimed straight into the pen just get behind the pig and click on it and it will run forward. If the pig is to the side, get behind the pig so the pig is in a line between you and the entrance to the pen. Click on the pig and the pig heads in the direction of the pen. This is easy to do even without speed boosts, but they definately help. As well, if you get lucky the pigs can wander in on their own.
Valeria
it would be funny if you had to /shoo the pigs

But the damn pigs do not herd for nothing and with the piss poor servers now you get lag spikes and the pigs walk right through you. It is like their AI does not register you in front of them and they continue to just keep walking forward.
Like Polymock I believe this was done without any consideration of lag. I think Anet testers must test this stuff on a lan thus are completely oblivious of what affects lag can have one their game.

the bug still definitely works -- did it last night, herded 3 in before starting the quest
Death Kaster
I had to do this quest like 4 times but I was laughing the entire time. Leave the effects on if your an American lol no seriously its more fun that way. Too bad this doest count toward drunkard title.
Sparks Dawnbringer
I can get to the pigs with 40 seconds and they just will not go into the pen. I think I really hate this more than any thing else in GW. I have always hated timed stuff and don't like Factions because of the masters = speed thing. All it proves is you have better internet connection and can use a mouse better. If I wanted to do speed shootem there are a lot of things out there I could buy instead of a RPG! I also think someone on the GW writers staff has some weird pig fetish.
Voodoo Rage
I passed it. Just cheat. Don't start the timer! I clicked on the barrels a bunch of times and then just muscled 3 pigs into the pen. The pigs won't really respond to you, but you can just stand in front of them and they will eventually turn around.
Dobermann
how the hell do u do it?
i hear theres a slow "cheats" method of bodyblocking the pigs into the pen before u start but i dunno where the pen is o>O
help plz

Drillago071
how can u not see the pen?? It's just near the pigs, I manage to block pigs a bit but i cant finish it too... if there was a bit more time...
Tois
well it really helps if you have a running skill. Can speed up the running between barrels etc.
At a guess if you turn your graphics down you will not get the "haze" from being drunk either which could make it easier.
The pen is basically the archway into a stone ring, just take one piggy at a time (choose the ones closest to the entrance first) go slowly upto them from behind to kind of push them the way you want them to go. Don't panic and take your time, wait for them to stop before trying to push them again. go wide around them until you are facing the right way, get them near the enrance and they will walk in.
Good luck

metalhodo
go to video settings and turn off "post-proccessing", you will not get the haze effect after getting yourself drunk
hope it helped:P
hope it helped:P
Tois
Yeah that arch looked right to me. Once you have pushed 3 piggies into there the quest will complete and you can go get your reward.
tox_169
Did this not five minutes ago: herded three pigs into the pen, quest updated as complete. Took about 5 minutes or less.
Now to do it on all my other characters

Yep when I initially got to this quest in GWEN after it first came out, I wanted to throw my pc as it was so annoying. As I wanted to do it with the drunken effect still going. This poor registration and randomness of the piggies made it UGLY.
HeLLScReaMM
hehe i see wiki pros :P without tips from wiki sure would take hours for each of us especially about herdin pigs since time is limited checking all updates and try to do would be alil impossible without wiki THX

How do you folks do this quest ?????
I go to quest.
Talk to Sif
DO NOT START the quest.
Go to the Pig Pen - and here is the bitch - try to get the pigs to go in, but it is practically impossible to do. In fact, in my case, if you corner them, they seems to "jump" away.
Can someone post : A LINE BY LINE approach as to how you do this >?
Thanks !

yeah this quest is seriously pissing me off. better read the wiki I guess.
its not even the speed boosts that's the problem, sometimes it's just the nature of the quest...sigh

Persistence.
Just keep at it, body-blocking the pigs until they go the way you want. Sometimes (often) they get around you, but don't give up - just keep at it.

I don't want to read how quickly or how fast and easy it was from the rest of you.
Myself and other would appreciate a simple and CLEAR step by step approach on thi svery frustrating mission.
Thank you ! [echo][dwarven stability][dash][dark escape]
Perma dash r fun.
Then just do what the quest tells you. For the keg dropping make sure you keep the kegs as your target and just run forward, as soon as your char drops it hit space.
Turn of post-process effects if you like to cheat.
