Kettle (Trouble Brewing)
Kettle
The kettle is an essential piece of equipment within the Trouble Brewing minigame, located on the island of the Evil Bob’s Island. This minigame is centered around the brewing of various types of beer, and players will work in teams to collect ingredients and create brews.
Location
The kettle can be found on the second floor of the brewery house, positioned to the northwest of the brewing area. Players can easily navigate to this location by using either the mini-map or simply exploring the island.
Functionality
Upon interacting with the kettle, players will be able to brew different varieties of beer using the ingredients they collect during the minigame. These ingredients include:
- Barley: Obtained by harvesting the barley fields located on the island.
- Hops: Can be gathered from the hop fields, located to the south of the kettle.
- Water: Collected from the nearby well or through the water source at the brewery.
Once the player has gathered the necessary ingredients, they can add them to the kettle by first placing the barley and then adding hops and water. The brewing process takes a short amount of time, during which the player must defend against competing teams who may attempt to sabotage their efforts.
Brewing Process
The brewing process requires careful timing and resource management. When brewing, players must monitor the kettle’s status, and once the brewing is complete, they can collect the beer to earn points for their team. The types of beer brewed will vary in quality, impacting the amount of points gained. Higher-quality brews are preferred, as they yield more points.
Strategy
Successful brewing requires teamwork and coordination. Players should strive to collect ingredients efficiently and return to the kettle frequently to maximize their brewing output. It is crucial to defend the kettle area, as rival teams may attempt to disrupt your work by stealing ingredients or sabotaging your brews. Players should also keep an eye out for bonuses, such as special ingredients that can enhance the brewing process or provide additional points.
Rewards
After completing a session in Trouble Brewing, players will receive rewards based on the performance of their team. Points earned can be redeemed for various prizes, including unique brewing-related items, which can be used to further enhance the brewing experience. Mastering the kettle and the brewing process can not only yield significant rewards but also contribute to a player’s overall mining and crafting skills in Old School RuneScape.
