**Available:** September 22 to October 31, 2026
***
## Overview
O'zapft is! The Oktoberfest tent is up in south Prontera. While the festival runs, monsters on fifteen hunting maps drop **brewing ingredients**. Bring them to **Brewmaster Hans** to brew **Helles Lager**, **Dunkel Bock** and **Weissbier**, then hand a full round to **Frau Greta** for the **\[C] Beer Jug** costume garment. Spare beer buys festival snacks.
***
## Step 1 - Gather Ingredients
Every monster on these maps can drop the ingredients while the festival runs.
{% hint style="success" %}
**The drops are already on, and there is nothing to wait for.** The festival switches itself on for the dates below, and a server announcement says so: *"O'zapft is! Hops, Barley Malt and Brewer's Yeast now drop from monsters."* Kills count from that moment, so the very next monster you kill can drop an ingredient. If a GM turns the drops on by hand, that also takes effect at once.
{% endhint %}
| Ingredient | Drop chance | Item id |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | :---------: | :-----: |
|  **Hops** | \~3% | 32523 |
|  **Barley Malt** | \~3% | 32524 |
|  **Brewer's Yeast** | \~0.8% | 32525 |
| Tier | Maps |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| High level | Cursed Monastery F3 (`abbey03`), Abyss Lake F3 (`abyss_03`), Geffen Dungeon F3 (`gef_dun02`), Ice Dungeon F3 (`ice_dun03`), Thor Volcano F3 (`thor_v03`), Odin Temple F3 (`odin_tem03`) |
| Mid level | Payon Dungeon F5 (`pay_dun04`), Mjolnir Dead Pit F3 (`mjo_dun02`), Orc Dungeon F2 (`orcsdun02`), Ant Hell F2 (`anthell02`), Glast Heim Prison (`gl_prison1`) |
| Low level | Prontera Field 8 (`prt_fild08`), Sograt Desert 2 (`moc_fild02`), Payon Forest 2 (`pay_fild02`), Geffen Field 7 (`gef_fild07`) |
You'll also need  **Empty Bottle** (item id: 713) and  **Milk** (item id: 519) - both sold in any tool shop.
***
## Step 2 - Brew with Brewmaster Hans
Each batch gives **1 beer** and succeeds **80%** of the time. A failed batch **loses its ingredients**, so brew in bulk and expect a few sour ones. Hans can brew as many batches as you carry ingredients for in one go.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Beer Jug is **one per account** - Greta remembers who already claimed it. Your claim is announced server-wide. Prost!
{% endhint %}
### Snacks for spare beer
Any beer you have left over can be traded one at a time, as often as you like. The snacks keep healing forever; the stat bonus lasts **until December 31, 2026**.

## Important Notes
{% hint style="info" %}
* Ingredients only drop between **September 22 and October 31** - after that Hans still brews what you bring, and Greta keeps trading until the tent is taken down.
* The drops are switched on and off **automatically by the date**, checked just after midnight each day and again whenever the server restarts. Nobody has to open the festival, and a server announcement marks both the start and the end.
* A full round for the jug is **15 beers**, which works out to **125 Hops, 200 Barley Malt, 40 Brewer's Yeast, 5 Milk and 15 Empty Bottles** if every batch succeeds - gather extra for the failed ones.
* Brewer's Yeast is the bottleneck - farm the high-level maps with a party if you can.
