I really hate setting up a preferred route because someone always feels the need to write to me with a better one but I’ve been asked about this one and I’ll share what I know. I do these deliveries because each one rewards you with a Badge of Taste. Two Badges get you tokens for the festivals (the number varies but 6 spring leaves is still nice). This route assumes that you already have the 11 types of drinks.

There is no quick and easy way to get these done unless you have a lot of milestone skills with a 5 minute cooldown. However, if you have access to swift travel and the ports mentioned below, you’ll do fine. Hunters have it the easiest since they have a few more ports. If you don’t have swift travel, you’ll want to do a bit more research and decide if the Badges of Taste are worth it. My non-hunters prefer the following order.

When I finish all my Bree Festival Grounds quests, I ride over to Thornley’s Work Site (1) and deliver the Limael’s then back to the festival ground, swift to Bree. When I’m finished with my Duillond quests, I run up to Thrasi’s Lodge (2) and deliver the Forsaken Ale. Then I start my swift travel quests. If the festival you’re attending doesn’t have quests in those areas, Thornley’s is an easy ride from West Bree and Thrasi’s is a longer ride from Celondim.

Swift to Rivendell. You’ll reverse your travel and come back to Rivendell until you get to Brockenborings. You can get to Echad Candelleth (3) and Hrimbarg (4) quickly and easily. You can also go to Gaith Forthnir then Aughaire (5) and Suri Kyla then Zigilgund (6). Go to Esteldin then Tinnudir then Oatbarton (7) then Brockenborings (8). Back to Oatbarton, Tinnudir, Esteldin and then Othrikar (9) (one of the more boring rides). Port to Thorin’s Gate and ride to the Refuge of Edhelion (10). Port to Ost Guruth and ride down to Ost Haer (11).
