Walkthrough
You will not have to fight anything, so concentrate your skillbar on moving quickly; aim for a permanent IMS of 33% or more. To start the quest, speak to Sif Shadowhunter who will start the timer. The quest indicator on your compass will help you find your next goal.


 * 1) Drink from both barrels next to Sif.
 * 2) Run to the Keg of Ale stack, pick up one, and carry it to the Keg Stand.
 * 3) * Repeat three times.
 * 4) Return to the barrels; drink from both again.
 * 5) Run the slalom by following a zigzag path around the outside of the markers.
 * 6) * Make sure the quest updates as you pass each marker.
 * 7) * Avoid the inner side of the flags; you can get disqualified even if you had passed them earlier from the far side.
 * 8) Return to the barrels and drink from both one last time.
 * 9) Follow the quest markers to the pen and push the piggies into the pen by bodyblocking them from the opposite direction.


 * Pig herding tips
 * You can speed things up by moving some pigs closer to the pen before starting the challenge.
 * If you are lucky, you can even herd three pigs into the stable and collect the reward without talking to Sif, allowing you to collect the reward without triggering the timer. However, the pigs are not at all cooperative.
 * You can bring spirits to help guide the pigs, but that is not guaranteed to work.
 * Some players have had success by repeatedly rezoning until the pigs are either in or very close to the stable before attempting to herd them.

Reward Dialogue
Olrun Olafdottir
 * "By the gods! You have a stomach of iron, intestines of rubber, and a liver of steel! And that jutting chin reminds me of the mountain crags above my home. Good sport, my friend! Perhaps you're not the useless runt you appear! Next time I'll plan an even more robust challenge...."
