LOTRO Guides: Tips and tricks for succeeding in Lord of the Rings Online

No Place for Spoiled Pies in the Shire

Fresh from the trials and tribulations of working your way up through the Shire Postal Service’s food chain and you still want more grab-and-dash quests? Well take a run over to Holly Hornblower in Hobbiton (31.2S, 71.1W).

She sets you off on a mad dash to distribute her pies across the Shire. In return you will receive the Virtue Trait Patience +1, along with Hornblower’s Pie Recipe, a sample Hornblower’s Pie and the title “Pie-runner” which will let everyone know that you are Holly’s b… est friend.

The Spoiled Pie Quests run along the same lines as the Postal Quests: pick up spoiled pies at the 12 locations below and run back to Holly, all the while avoiding water, dangerous beasts and Hungry Hobbits.

The Quests:

• Pie for the Green Dragon (ending at 31.8S, 69.4W) Deliver Holly Hornblower’s pie to Gerd Whitfoot in the Green Dragon Inn in Bywater.

• Lobelia’s Pie (ending at 29.4S, 71.3W) Holly Hornblower wants you to take Lobelia’s pie to Opal at the Party Field then speak to Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.

• No Place for Spoiled Pies (with starting locs) Holly Hornblower wants you bring all the spoiled pies back to her in Hobbiton-Bywater.

These quests are another of Turbine’s awesome Hobbit quest chains which take skill and luck but don’t require you to kill anything. A bonus for parents who want to play LOTRO with their children, but are afraid of the constant kill-kill-kill action typical to RPGs and for players who are just a little tired of killing rats for fun.
