Guide inn league reputation

post by boxmodeler
Introduction

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 heboxmodeler
re was originally discovered on the Roheryn preview server. I have since confirmed the information below is live on all servers as of 8/1/2008. 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, but must be obtained during a Festival event. 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 10000 rep points and the Inn League Member title. This immediately advances you from Neutral to Acquaintance, with 0/20000 points for Friend status in the Inn League faction. The second time you complete the starter quest 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 are several ways to earn reputation with the Inn League. These methods are detailed below. Without repeating the starter initiation quest, the maximum amount of reputation you can earn with the Inn League as of the Summer Festival is 14500/20000 points on the way to Friend status.
Deeds

There are 4 deeds discovered so far.
Inn League Member
You must complete the Inn League Initiation quest. This is found at the party tree during a festival. The reward is 10,000 Rep Points and the title Inn League Member. It is the prerequisite to any other Inn League related quests/deeds.
Senior Inn League Member
You must assist 5 Inn League Members with their quests. The reward is 1,200 rep points and the title Senior Inn League Member
Inn League Notable
You must assist 11 Inn League Members with their quests. The reward is 1,200 rep points and the title Inn League Notable. This title replaces the Senior Inn League Member title.
Inn League Challenge
You must drink 23 unique varieties of wine/beer/ale. You will primarily find these from Tavern Keep NPCs, but you will also find a few from two Vintner NPCs. Your reward for completion is 1200 rep points and the title "Inn League Sage of Fine Spirits". The deed should activate and appear in your deed log when you complete the Inn League Initiation quest. Here are the names and locations of the unique brews:

Quests

You can find quest bestowers throughout Eriador that are associated with the Inn League (Inn League Member displays under their name). All of these quests seem to be fetching quests where they ask you to obtain a specific brew from a specific Inn within 1 hour. None of them seem to be repeatable. The total amount of Reputation you can earn from these 11 quests, as of the Summer Festival, is 10,900 points. Here is the info I have been able to obtain thus far.
