Quick Guide to THE INN LEAQUE REPUTATION by BOXMODELER forums.lotro.com

This guide is intended to detail the various methods of earning reputation points with the Inn League faction. The Inn League reputation area can be found inside the Bird & Baby Inn, which can be found in Michel Delving, Shire, Eriador. The information found here is what has been discovered thus far (on the Roheryn preview server). This guide was written prior to the live release of Book 14.

It is unknown yet whether reputation points can be earned during times other than the quartly festivals. As it stands now, you can only earn reputation during one of the quarterly festivals. In order to unlock the ability to earn reputation with the Inn League, you must first complete the Inn League reputation starter quest. This quest can be found at the Party Tree just north of Hobbiton in the Shire. You must complete this quest in order to unlock anything else listed below. This is a repeatable quest. The first time you complete it you earn 10,000 rep points and the Inn League Member title. The second time you complete it you earn 500 rep points. The repeat of this quest appears to be on a static reset at Midnight each real world day (much like the fishing point earning cap). There seem to be a few ways of earning rep points with this faction, I have detailed my findings below.

Deeds

I have been able to find one deed so far. You must drink 23 unique varieties of wine/beer/ale. You will primarily find these from Tavern Keep NPC's, but you will also find a few from two Vinter NPC's.
Your reward for completion is 1,200 rep points and the title "Inn League Sage of Fine Spirits"
The deed should activate and appear in your log when you drink your first one, although it also seems to appear at some point during the initial drinking quest (possibly if you drink a certain type of ale/cider??)
Here are the locations of the unique brews:

Shire:

• Brockenborings (The Plough and Stars) - Wooly-Foot Stout
  
• Stock (The Golden Perch) - Brandy Wine & Old Whitywindle
  
• Frogmorton (The Floating Log) - Toad's Tongue Ale
  
• Bywater (The Green Dragon) - 1404 Vintage reserve & Green Dragon Breath Ale
  
• Hobbiton (The Ivy Bush) - Thistleberry Brew & Whitebranch
  
• Michel Delving (Bird & Baby Inn) - Blackgrove's Brown & Old Vinyards

Bree-Land:

• Combe (The Combe & Wattle Inn) - Bear Breaker Ale
  
• Bree (The Prancing Pony) - Barlimen's Best, Blind Troll Stout, Moar Boar Beer, Stars of Old Cider, Isenwine

Lone-Lands:

• The Forsaken Inn - Forsaken Inn Ale, Forsaken inn Cider, Swill

Trollshaws:

• Rivendell (The Last Homely House, Bilbo's room)* - Dorwinion Red, Dorwinion White

Ered Luin:

• Celondim (Just NE of the stable)* - Limael's Vintage
  
• Thorin's Hall (Tavern beneath the main hall) - Bombur's beard Lager

* indicates a Vinter NPC instead of a Tavern Keep

Quests

You can find quest bestowers throughout Eriador that are associated with the Inn League (Inn League Member displays under their name).

Quest Drinks by Inn/Tavern/Vinter

To make the questing easier, it would make sense to purchase the brews you will need for the quests ahead of time; say, while you're completing your deed. Here is the list of brews/ales/wines/ciders/etc you'll want to have on hand when you do your questing. As more quests are discovered I will add to this list as well. (remember, if you're doing your deed at the same time, you'll need to purchase the following items twice so you can drink one and save one).

Prancing Pony
Moor-boar Beer
Stars of Old

Combe & Wattle Inn
Beakbreaker Ale

Thorin's Hall Inn
Bombur's Beard Lager

Celondim
Limael's Vintage

Bird & Baby Inn
