WoWGrrl's World

My LFG Levelers aren't to the Blackrock Depths level yet, and won't be for quite a while, but that doesn't mean I can't still enjoy the dungeon once in a while.

Specifically, on my Horde-side, well-established set of toons, a couple of them have Direbrew's Remote.

And the Remote, other than being a rare daily boss drop during the Brewfest celebration which was difficult to get in the first place, has a couple of neat features that can be enjoyed year round.

Dusting Off The Remote

For the heck of it I hopped onto my Troll Mage and activated the Remote I got from Coren Direbrew, and took a ride in the Dark Iron Dwarf's Personal Mole Machine.

When used by its owner or any party member, the Personal Mole Machine takes a player directly into The Grim Guzzler in Blackrock Depths. When I was first going into BRD, my social leveling guildmates referred to that spot as "The Bar" so you might know it better that way.

If you're bringing a real party, or a friend for a run through, or an alt for a boss drop, there are a couple boss fights here you can engage without moving very far from where you land when you zone in:

• Ribbly Screwspigot
• Hurley Blackbreath (Alliance)
• Lost Thunderbrew Recipe (Horde)

Say Hello To The Band

The most important part of using your Direbrew's Remote, of course, is ...

Well, first to make newbies gather around you in the city when you pull out the Personal Mole Machine and they've never seen one before, or only rarely seen one before...

And then, once you're alone in Blackrock Depths, or there with your buddies or party, it's all about the band.

Allll about activating the band.

Rock and Roll, baby!

How To Activate The Band

The band can be activated any time of year, but during certain times I do believe the band comes out by itself.

Probably to pique interest in the players who get the rare chance to see it when nobody has purposely brought them out via remote.

At any rate, if you talk to the NPC to the right hand side of the band gear and go through the scripted conversation with him, you'll ask for the band to be brought out and use guilt and the fact that you came all this way with the remote to see them, and eventually the goblin will agree to bring them out.

A few moments later, the band will come out, and they'll play for quite a while!

If you target one of the band members and /cheer them, you'll get a stat buff too - perfect for buffing up just before you take on the two bosses I mentioned for the quests earlier!

I hope you like the pictures, I had fun taking them :)
