Joining groups to Brew NMS for free when your only after a specific item your after helps as well. This is when you get what you want and other get the whatever else drop they were after.
Though in many cases I see a problem with this for example. I joined a group that was doing Orthrusx9 last nite and I can usually brew 3-4 before my timers runs out. Well rule was Brewer picks 1 item and there was only 2 brewers me and 1 other. Well so I wait for yellow proc then I proceed to brew the 1st pop and lot Ardor jewel and rest goes to the other person or FL. 2nd pop comes yellow proc done and i kill that 1, well now here is where the BS comes into play. As I lot the 2nd ardor Jewel I get kicked outta the group. I asked Alexjpchoi wtf was the meaning of this. Well he said Brewer picks 1 ya well he means the 1st kill you make under a brew your allowed to lot 1 item and whatever other kills you make during this time you are not allowed to lot on which honestly is total BS. So beware of idiots like this guy -.-
