The Inn League (Reputation)
Description
Originally founded by spirit-loving Hobbits, The Inn League has since opened its membership to any who enjoy the pleasures of strong drink.
Location
The Inn League is headquartered in The Bird and Baby Inn in Michel Delving in the Shire, though there are Inn League members throughout Eriador. The Inn League rooms are only available to those of Friend reputation or better.
Gaining Reputation
Reputation quests are only available during Festivals.
Introductory Quest
To achieve Acquaintance status with The Inn League, players must complete the Inn League Initiation quest series at The Party Tree in the Shire.
Category:Inn League Initiation Quests
Inn League Trial (repeatable once a day)
- [5] Inn League -- Party Tree Trial at The Hill
- [5] Inn League -- Plough and Stars Trial at Brockenborings
- [5] Inn League -- Golden Perch Trial at Stock
- [5] Inn League -- Floating Log Trial at Frogmorton
- [5] Inn League -- Green Dragon Trial at Bywater
- [5] Inn League -- Ivy Bush Trial at Hobbiton
- [5] Inn League -- Bird and Baby Trial at Michel Delving
General Quests
The final quest, Inn League Initiation -- Bird and Baby, gives 10,000 reputation thus reaching Acquaintance.
After completing the Initiation quests and becoming an Inn League Member, players can repeatedly do the Inn League Initiation quest series since it is repeatable once a day and grants 1200 reputation with the Inn League each time the series is completed.
Each beverage needs a different time for drinking. At every station, your hero needs 3, 5, 7, or 9 sips for a beverage. Since time is limited, you will run in time trouble if choosing the slowest beverage. The following table shows this:
Location | Station | 3 sips | 5 sips | 7 sips | 9 sips |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
The Hill | Party Tree | Gunderic's Ale | Fern Beer | Rootknot’s Cider | Perry's Porter |
Greenfields | Plough and Stars | Rootknot’s Cider | Gunderic's Ale | Perry's Porter | Fern Beer |
Stock | Golden Perch | Fern Beer | Perry's Porter | Gunderic's Ale | Rootknot's Cider |
Frogmorton | Floating Log | Perry's Porter | Rootknot's Cider | Fern Beer | Gunderic's Ale |
Bywater | Green Dragon | Gunderic's Ale | Fern Beer | Rootknot's Cider | Perry's Porter |
Hobbiton | Ivy Bush | Rootknot’s Cider | Gunderic's Ale | Perry's Porter | Fern Beer |
Michel Delving | Bird and Baby | Perry's Porter | Rootknot's Cider | Fern Beer | Gunderic's Ale |
Also, after finishing the first initiation quest series, several other single quests become available from Inn League Member NPCs throughout Eriador. These repeatable (once a day) single quests are timed quests that require the player to get the NPC in question a certain kind of beer, wine, or ale within an hour.
Delivery Quests
There are several quests that ask you to fetch an Inn League member a drink from far away within a time limit. It is possible to pick up the drink first, travel to the delivery location, acquire the quest, and complete it immediately. It also goes well with The Inn League Challenge. Quests can be repeated daily; after finishing a quest, selecting the Inn League member again will tell you how many hours you must wait. Each completion gives +900 reputation for the Inn League, -500 reputation for the Ale Association, and a Badge of Taste.
You can also take all 11 quests from one of the Inn League Tavern Keeps.
