Hunter's Ale?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
I saw a guy selling these things in Ascalon City for 200g a pop. Didn't buy one but I took a screenshot...

I've never seen them before. The guy was claiming you get your character drunk with them. The more you use the greater the effect.
Is this some sort of scam with a name hacking tool or something?

You can get the ale in pre-searing and it will make your monitor fuzzy. There's no other use for them that I know about, so you can pay the 200 if you want to have some fun.

Where/how do you get them?

SW of Fort Ranik, I think in Regent Valley is a group of guys standing aroud singing drinking songs and bragging about bears. They'll give you a quest to kill a bear in less than 3 minutes and then give you the ale to drink with them. If you do this twice in a row, they will start singing about you.

Hilarious.. makes me want to re-roll a character just so I can check that out.

They're from some pre-searing miniquest in the middle of some forest where ther are abundant spiders. It doesn't even get added to your quest log. A bunch of drunks challenge you to kill more bears than their leader. Sorry, can't really remember anything more specific than that.

On a side note, when I drank the booze that they gave me, I noticed absolutely no effect at all.

Here's the fuzzy screen and them singing about me.

Hilarious...

I don't see much difference between fuzzy and non-fuzzy.. maybe it's better noticed when animated..

Yeah, it took me a second to see it to. When animated, the screen also moves subtley...kinda like in the logon screen, you can watch the camera angle move a little bit.

I suppose one easy way to explain what it's like is as follows.

You know when a flag blows softly in the wind and has a ripple effect going through it, that's what it looks like, but a lot slower and the ripples are more tightly together.

It's fun, but that's about it as far as I know.

The alternative, and this is for the over age drinkers only. Drink plenty of whatever is your favourite drink and play the game, and watch the screen move about.
