Inn League Trial
After completing the Inn League Initiation quest chain, Inn League Members can test their mettle by attempting to complete the Inn League Trial quests to gain increased reputation with the Inn League.
This is a series of quests only available at festivals. (This quest chain may not be available during all festivals.) This entire quest chain is done in the Shire and there are 7 Quests to complete to gain the reward.
Each quest sends players to the next and they are all timed so as players get more and more drunk, travelling becomes more and more difficult. Players must follow the quest chain in order and complete the objectives within the time limits to obtain the final reward from Ioco Underhill at the Bird and Baby Inn in Michel Delving.
This series is repeatable, but there is a cooldown of several hours after attempting the series.
