Unless you have the mats for this, I suggest not doing this quest and save yourself 4 ironpaw tokens. It is probably faster and cheaper to just farm the gifts than doing this quest.

Comment by Ciel

The guy is clearly as drunk as his name suggests. If he thinks a player is going to give him something that takes that much effort for a reward that !@#$ty, he is clearly the drunkest of drunkards.

Comment by Zellyn

Yeah, just spend 20 minutes flying around the farms and collect stuff from Dark Soil and save yourself a huge amount of time and tokens.

Comment by Partyrocked

You will get this quest when you are within 6000 rep of being his Best Friend. The gold reward seems to be wrong as mine only offered 19g 84s 50c for completion, more reason Not to do this quest. Best choice would be to make Sauteed Carrots for his daily A Dish for Jogu as it only requires 10 Juicycrunch Carrot and farm the Lovely Apple for remaining rep needed.

If you dont have any carrots, you can purchase a Sack of Juicycrunch Carrots for 1 token which contains 25, enough for 2 dish dailies.

Comment by mazhop

Correct, I farmed enough apples from dark soil to max out his rep, so for the the time and gold isn't worth it.

Skip!

Comment by Partyrocked

Would like to note also that if you choose not to do this quest, don't forget to check for the daily Weed War II that starts with him as he will still have the golden exclamation instead of the blue one showing that he has a daily available. Should be same day as the vermin Dailies.
They Don't Even Wear Them
The Lesser of Two Evils

Edited, Daily is random, check him daily just incase :) thx angelfish for correction

Comment by yodadoe

I suggest accepting the quest and "stop tracking" it in your UI. That way, you don't keep seeing the yellow ! on your map and can see when he has a daily quest for you. Sure it takes up a quest spot in your quest book... small price to pay, I say.

Comment by Slummish

I should have followed Wowhead's advice. I did this quest and hoped for the best; thinking maybe Jogu would mail me some kind of mystery reward for eating the cost of the Black Pepper and the soil slots wasted on Turnips... Not a damn thing. This quest is a tremendous waste of time and resources. Avoid it...

Update:
It's been more than a month and a major patch later and the completion of this quest has still yielded no noticeable rewards. Keep avoiding it.

Update II:
Patch 5.2 has been live for more than 24hrs. Still no change in the status of this quest line. No mails, no rewards, no quest continuation from Jogu the Drunk.

Comment by Aliandrin

For the first time I wonder... Should I really be feeding into his addiction? In for a penny, in for a pound, I suppose.

Comment by Aluminum

After having this "negative reward" quest pollute my mini-map every day, I'm tempted to waste the mats just to get rid of it.

You have to make it once for the Master quest anyways, 3 more times to satisfy some OCD...

(also remember to drink the one he gives you for the Pandaren Delicacies achievement)

For turning it in they should have an option to re-roll the crop he suggests once a day or something.

Comment by 1036731

Given the quest description, the lengths that have to be gone through to complete it, and lack of any meaningful reward, I was kind of expecting Jogu to say "Niiii!" at some point...

Comment by sopor30

This quest will only be worth it when a flying mount is given as a reward for completing it. Until then - ain't gonna happen.

Comment by 1061611

Okay all you grumpies. This quest is not totally useless. After you become Best Friends with the drunken fishie, and you invite him to come live in the pond on your farm, he will always agree, and then say, After this drink.... then he never shows up. If you complete the quest, then invite him, he is there in the pond. Totally worth 4 cooking tokens. And, personally, I think he is drinking a little less now....

Comment by Deklol

I'm probably the only person who likes this guy :(

Comment by 877841

I see some mention "turnips" but don't see them mention which turnips to use...white or pink?

Comment by 876610

For the quest freaks!
You can do that later on when you will have Nomi.
Goodies from Nomi has 12% chance to drop it for you.

Comment by 1092539

For those of us who are borderline ocd about finishing quest lines a more feasible method of finishing this quest is through your best friend Nomi. Upon reaching Best Friend reputation with your apprentice you will get a free daily quest A Token of Appreciation much like Blingtron 4000. As a reward for completing said quest you will be rewarded with 1x Ironpaw Token and 1x Goodies from Nomi. The bag has a 14% chance of containing 2-5 of Mad Brewer's Breakfast. Not sure if this helps, but hope this at least proves this quest is somewhat possible to do.

Comment by Janetzky

Found these for a very surprisingly low price on AH probably due to the fact Nomi may give these to players.

BLIZZARD'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ON DEALING WITH THE ADDICTED

Blizzard is very upfront with the status of this NPC. He is a drunk, a NPC with an addiction.
Is he a nice person? Sure, he helps me get a 40% increase in my crops. Is he a funny person? Absolutely, “you should have seen the look on your face”.

And does he deserve my empathy? Well, (/proud) I’m his only friend and he's even lost his family (. . . Or perhaps he's driven his family and friends away by converting everything they had of value into booze.)

Is he intelligent? – Well, he’s gotten me to give him 25g twice, and smaller amounts several times. As well as smaller amounts on alts to determine if the weather is the same for everyone (/bonk self). And he’s obviously gotten me to give him alcohol - an inexpensive vendor drink, 5 pricier ones, and 10 (100 farm mats at 4g each = 400g) I made for him (that are known to cause massive headaches, but I gave them to him anyway). And now he just wants a taste of 20 mad breakfast brew . . . which will normally satisfy 20 raids. <Oh yeah, I’m thinking he just may be hitting me up for that brewery next.>

My advice - one would be wise NOT to fuel an alcoholic’s addiction. Stick with giving Jogu easily digested food – Sauteed Carrots and Lovely Apple – and you too will become best friends soon enough. (BTW, he has a lot of friends, he just can’t remember them. And the cost of predictions at even Buddy level is just 10s.)

/Welcome to Blizzard’s educational program on dealing with the addicted.

It's really not worth doing much more than the first couple of his personal quests. After that the cost increases dramatically.

Comment by ShadowfireOmega

Honestly I just bought the Mad Brewer's Breakfast on the AH (US-Bladefist), it came out to just under 30g for the lot of em, but all things in consideration I neither wasted hundreds of gold on ingredients, time on growing, or any ironpaw tokens. It's honestly one of (if not the most) useless 600 cooking products, as it gives ~~no skill boost and~~ only half the mana gain of the others, so you can usually find it for a low price.

Edit: Apparently it gave me a str boost of 200, do not know if this is typical, random, or actual delusion!

Comment by thezorg

There's a simple and free (but not fast) way to complete this quest. Just wait until you get the school bell and complete To Be A Master. You can then call up Nomi each day and she will give you a gift of a meal she's cooked. Some of those will be the Mad Brewer's Breakfast. Save 'em up and you'll complete the quest without buying any pepper or other ingredients. Won't be fast, but it'll get done.

Comment by wscott2420

You don't have to buy items or farm to complete this.If you obtain the NPC Nomi from doing the apprentice achievement (Now I am the master),she will occasionally give you mad brewers breakfast as a reward.I was able to complete it in a couple of weeks this way.

Comment by Charinna

This quest is your opportunity to prove that you have a worse addiction than Jogu the Drunk.

And yes, I'm +1

Comment by Marmooset

Just give him some Lovely Apples and tell him to shut the glub up.

Comment by Greenshadow1999

i'd do this quest as many times as possible...not because i love to waste resources,nor that i want to complete it just for it to be done....i am kind person...and if this drunk fish wants a brewery...he can have it:)

Comment by Taraezor

To assist you all with Dark Soil collecting, The Tillers reputation grinding and each farmer's reputation I made an AddOn which I put up at Curse.

It has almost all the Dark Soil locations plus all the help you need for finding each farmer, the correct gift to give, a few map markers for getting the questing underway and so on. Plus... recently I added Dog! Why? Well... because we all love Dog!

I look forward to all your feedback - just follow the link above - on how I can continue to improve this AddOn. I hope that you found it useful!
