Stupid Brain, Be More Smart
“So BRK, you want a Mammoth.”
“Yes, brain. Mammoth. With all of my dwarven soul. Gimme.”
“Go get one.”
“Can’t. Northrend not available yet.”
“Yes it is. Beta. You play there all the time.”
“We don’t have 20k gold on the beta.”
“You have almost 23k on live.”
“That does us no good there.”
“Transfer your toon to the beta.”
“We’ve done that. BRKBeta is now level 80, but only has 5000 gold”
“You can transfer your live BRK more than once.”
“…”
“Yes. Transfer your live toon, with his 23k gold, to the beta again, run your happy little dwarven @ss to Dalaran, and buy a Mammoth.”
“YES!”
/do the transfer stuff
/login to the beta
/check pocketbook
“We be flush with cash! To Dalaran!”
/much running all over Northrend, massive running away from big bad things, evading giants and dragons and everything, for about ninety minutes, until we arrive at, well, certainly not Dalaran.
“Hey brain?”
“Yes?”
“The um… the quest to go to Dalaran? You have to be level 74.”
“Seventy four?”
“Seventy-four. We can’t go to Dalaran. We can do the Dalaran-attunement quest so we can leave, but we can’t go to Dalaran solo until seventy-four.”
“We’ll that’s pure, unmitigated…”
“Don’t say it. We have a solution.”
“Speak it, oh wise BRK.”
“First, we shall get a Samuel Adams Irish Red. There is an extremely cold one in the ‘fridge for occasions just like this.”
“That’s an excellent plan. Approved.”
“Second, we shall find a mage in Dalaran who will accept a donation and port us there.”
/obtain beer
/drink
/who Dalaran
/crickets
“Hey Brain, that report says there’s nobody in Dalaran, right?”
“You’re reading that correctly. There’s nobody in Dalaran.”
“Nobody?”
“Not a sausage.”
“We can’t get a port to Dalaran if there’s no mages in Dalaran.”
“I have a temporary solution.”
“Temporary?”
“Yes. Drink more beer. A more permanent solution will present itself. For that is the magic of beer.”
“Is this really brain and not stomach? Stomach will say the dumbest things for Sam Adams.”
“Drink. The beer shall set me free.”
/drinks
“HEY!! Heeeeyyy. We could mail ourselves the money!”
“Mail it?”
“Yes! Send every copper from our flush level 70 BRK to our poor level 80 BRK, then he can buy a Mammoth!”
“Genius!”
“BEER!”
/drink
And thus ends that part of the story. Mammoth acquired, movie incoming.

I look forward too it! =)
LOL.
Beer 2: sobriety 1
23k gold? how’d you do it? and don’t say buy the guide… done that. Must’ve still taken a long time.
LOL!
What cracks me up is how many beers it took to get to the mailing idea… HAH!
That and:
“Is this really brain and not stomach? Stomach will say the dumbest things for Sam Adams.”
“Drink. The beer shall set me free.”
Going to die of laughter now. Carry on. XD
i often wonder how much gold i’d have if i didn’t level alts. the answer is probably something a lot like 23,000.
You sir, are a genius.
/kneel
Nice choice in beverage, sir.
I’m drinking one right now myself!
Great hunters have similar tastes!
I think that must have been Stomach at that point, as Brain should know what’s wrong with the sentence “Your reading that correctly.”
Ribbing aside, SWEET HOLY MAMMOTH! Um… gonna take a LOT of Thick Clefthoof stacks selling for 120g between now and Nov. 13 to save up for that puppy.
For brain’s future reference, the mage doesn’t have to be in Dalaran to port you there. Thus, /who mage 74-80 might have yielded better results.
But the port would likely have cost you much more than the 30c to send the mail.
Thank you for making my Monday morning ever so much less painful! I’m going to go giggle some more, now.
So it is true! Dwarves need beer to function properly. 8oP
Beer… Is there anything it can’t do?
That’s really simple to get money on beta
Just copy premade they get 5000g each, then send all gold by mail 4 premade = mamooth (that is if you have enough premade copy remaining)
New poll:
Who is crazier?
1)BRK
II)BRK’s Brain
C) MrsBRK (for marrying this man)
D) All of the above.
All good things come to those who /Beer.
Congratulations on a mount you get for 10 whole days. If that. Its Beta. Why bother? Its like the newb running Strat to get Baron’s mount on beta. Its a beta. You don’t get to keep it.
Beer! The cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems. (pours beer on the overzealous spam filter that eats her message AGAIN…)
And pours beer on the ‘click to edit’ link because that’s not working either.
Barkle, it’s not like it costs anything, and it’s fun to fool around with.
Crap!I’m ridiculously poor!Less than 200g to my poor hunter’s name at 67!No friggin mammoth for me ever!
/cry
It appears Sam Adams beer is not available in Nova Scotia (Canada) …
*weeps*
Ale good, makes brain better always. Wants WotLK out yesterday. will take me a long time to get mamoth but have to have one. Great read as always
…I probably shouldn’t mention that “mail the moola from rich 70 BRK to poor 80 BRK” was the first solution that presented itself to me, before the 90 minutes of running-to-Dalaran and without beer.
Hee.
I heard that on your Mammoth you have a repair guy and can buy ammunition, food etc. Is there any truth to that?
Ok, so i clicked on the Mammoth link and read the comments and it looks like the Mammoth will have 2 vendors: a gnome and a draenei that will have everything from general goods, regeants to ammo and food. You can kick the vendors off and accept passangers…up to 2.
Beer makes people smarter. It made Bud-weiser.
…Alright, that was lame. I’ll go hide now.
/ashamed
Funny that it took you having a few beers before the most obvious solution presented itself.
What does that say about you? What does it say about life?
I think it says that you listen to “Brain” too often and should drink more beer.
Keep hunterin’
Shu
Mmm. I love me some Sam Adams, but it usually has the adverse effect on my brain.
Heh, beer must have affected brain a bit much. It should have taken all of a half second to figure out to mail the funds to the higher level alt.
Hah!
You do the same thing as me! :]
The Beer Will Set me free!!!!
BRK brain posts are, quite simply, the best.
I think I love you.
Yo BRK! Even though it’s only beta and only 10 days… thanks for the drunken stupor and the picture to go along. That beast looks suh-weet.
Of course, I myself may not see this thing for many a year yet to come. I couldn’t even muster up enough $$$ for my original mount until about level 47 (this was back in the day when you couldn’t get your mount till 40). And I’m only taking the bare minimum of skill upgrades now trying to save for my epic ground. At level 62 I’ve only got a little over 200G. I almost coughed up a lung when I had to drop nearly 40G to train Master for skinning/leatherworking once getting to Outland.
And remember, getting the mammoth is only half the reward. The other half came from the ‘adventure’ you took to get there! Both in-game and real-life.
It just wouldn’t have been as noteworthy if you would have logged on today, mailed the gold straight up, then end of story. Thanks for the fun!
Hehe… I myself prefer Sam Adam’s Black Lager. Mmmmm… chocolate beer…
This is the first time I’ve come to your blog and I’m dying laughing. You have another reader…
