(Unless, of course, I cancel my account before then, but somehow I doubt Blizzard has any sympathy for that. ;))<BR/><BR/>These two achievements are really opposite extremes in potential for long waits. If you miss even a single month of the Brew club, you're setting back your achievement for a year. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it's statistically possible that you could do the Horseman five times a day for the entire event every single year from now until Blizzard shuts down WoW and NEVER get both of the two items you need. If we're talking about numbers in the 5% range, it might even be LIKELY that it'll take you more than two years. <BR/><BR/>(Personally, I've been involved in 8 Horseman kills - thanks to the bonus summon the first time you do the quest - in which one helm and zero squashlings dropped. That's obviously too small a sample to say anything about the drop rates, but remember that there's going to be a five-way roll to collect anything that does drop.)<BR/><BR/>So both are very rare, and thus the achievement is probably not going to be all that common. Which, again, is fine, as long as they're providing something else for players to do.Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-11125666251339935432008-10-22T06:35:00.000-04:002008-10-22T06:35:00.000-04:00I am more worried about the brew of the month club...I am more worried about the brew of the month club, by not having it joinable during the year you have to wait 9months (till brew fest) + 12 months (for the brews) to get it...<BR/><BR/>So 20 or so months waiting on an achievement, 12 fine... 20?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18415648946567949701noreply@blogger.com
