This is a guest submissions sent in by Millros Broadbelt of the Bounders of the Shire kin on Landroval on getting through Winterhome daily grind as quickly as possible.
With new yule cosmetics available with update 5.1, thoughts have turned back to Winterhome quests before the festival ends. The problem is it can be a bit of a grind and you don’t want to spend precious gaming time when you could be doing other things. If you plan your route carefully through Winterhome though you can be in and out in an easy 15 minutes, leaving plenty of time to do other things in your spiffy new clothes on your spiffy new horse! This is the route I’ve found to be the fastest through the Winterhome quests, getting through everything in 2 “laps” and with the absolute minimum of doubling back.
When you land at Winterhome head straight into the upper gate and speak to guard Kember. Pick up the Abominable Snowbeasts quest (you aren’t so mean as to want to tell the beggars to move off for money are you? No, didn’t think so, good!) then head down the main street, past Ona Kay, to the workers area.

The Inn League (IL) is a festival reputation started by the Hobbits of the Shire to celebrate their love of a good strong drink. The only time you can earn reputation with this group is during one of the four seasonal festivals. For more information on in-game seasonal festivals see our General Festival Quest Guide that includes links to the specific season guides.
The Inn League’s rival is the Ale Association (AA) although you’ll find the Hobbits of the Inn League are much less interested in the goings on of AA. Most quests that grant you IL rep will also give negative AA rep, although it is possible to get to kindred with both.

Added in Spring Festival 2010 was the Ale Association. The Ale Association (AA) and Inn League (IL) are rivals so doing quests for the AA will grant negative reputation with the IL and vice versa.
Just as a general tip you may want one character work on AA rep and an alt work on IL although it is possible to get to kindred with both.

Fall Festival is running this year from October 19th – November 16, 2010. This guide is here to help you find all the events available. The primary currency of this festival is Fall Festival Tokens. Collecting these can help you buy the goodies listed in the rewards section below.
The new Haunted Burrow is simply not to be missed. If you plan to spend any time in the new Haunted Burrow event, you may want to hold off buying a lot of items as there is a chance to earn them from the special chest inside the burrow freeing up your tokens to buy other goodies!
The quests are mostly broken up into four major regions in Middle Earth.
