Tips and Tricks: Fat Mayor (Farmers Faire)

~ Eliriael ~ 3 Comments

Fat Mayor: Will Whitfoot (31.9S, 69.7W) is helping himself to lots of food and needs your help with some dishes that are not to his liking. Relieve him with either some butter, milk, salt, water, or wine. You must help him 6 times, but if you bring him the wrong item 3 times, the quest fails. [5 Farmers Faire Tokens]

This first list orders the phrases alphabetically so you can find the ones you need quickly.

Ack! Ss…spuh…spicy! Save me! – Milk
Adding to this dish would spoil its taste. – Nothing
All this eating is hard work — exercise, if you ask me. I need to replenish. – Water
Bland, bland, bland. – Salt
Crisp flavour, hearty, and a clean aftertaste! – Nothing
Dear me. It burns, it burns!! – Milk
Did Opal forget to season this? – Salt
First sweet, then salty, then savoury — the flavours compliment each other well! – Nothing
Hmm. Not quite rich enough, if you ask me. – Butter
I must cleanse my palette. – Wine
It just needs a dab of something…. – Butter
It’s missing a little something… – Salt
Lovely, lovely. – Nothing
Mmm! Whoever made this is worthy of great admiration. – Nothing
Nice and salty, but now my mouth is dry. – Water
Ouch!! Too much pepper! – Milk
So…thirsty… – Water
Something tart will do nicely right now. – Wine
That was a nice set of flavours. – Nothing
That was a passable meal, I suppose. – Nothing
This bread is too dry! – Butter
This was too fine a dish to be eaten without an accompaniment. – Wine

This next set of lists group together the phrases based on the item that the Mayor wants. You can notice some similarities that call for each additional item.

Tips and Tricks: Bounder Rounds (Farmers Faire)

Bounder Rounds: Bounder Boffin (31.9S, 69.8W) asks you to admonish the hobbits who have gotten too drunk. You must scold 7 hobbits, but if you scold 2 sober hobbits, the quest fails. [4 Farmers Faire Tokens]

There are small nuances in the speech of drunk and sober hobbits.

‘A toast to the fine farmers who made this Faire so delicious! May the hair on your toes grow thick and curly.’

Tips and Tricks: Manning the Market (Farmers Faire)

~ Eliriael ~ Leave a comment

Manning the Market: Daisy Sandyman (31.8S, 69.7W) needs you to help the customers at her stall. There are 6 customers and you must try to help as many as you can in 15 minutes. You earn [4 Farmers Faire Tokens] for each customer you help.

For the List Quests, the onion, cheese, bread, meat, apple, and cabbage are always in the same place. You just have to make different selections based on each list. I’ve ordered them so that you can go around the market in a neat circle.

A Market List
– orange cheese (31.9S, 69.8W)
– white onion (32.0S, 69.7W)
– white bread (31.9S, 69.6W)
– green apple (31.9S, 69.6W)
A Shopping List
– white cheese
– red onion
– white bread
– haunch of beef (31.9S, 69.6W)
– green apple
– small cabbage (31.8S, 69.7W)
A Vendor List
– orange cheese
– white onion
– wheat bread
– bacon
– large cabbage
A Nosy Request
Ernwyd Bolger – behind the Tavern Keep Barmy Rootknot and a keg in the Green Dragon (39.8S, 61.6W)
Alric Hornblower (32.2S, 69.5W) – inside the mushroom tent, south of the market
Opalessa Sandheaver (32.6S, 69.9W) – at the Methel Stage, south of the market
Apple-Shopping
If you collect more apples than you need in one round, hold onto them in your inventory. The next time you do the quest, those extra apples will count for the quest and you won’t have to find as many apples!
Fresh Savoury Mushroom Stew
– obtain the recipe (31.9S, 69.7W) near the oven
– grab some beef (31.9S, 69.6W) at the meat stall
– add salt (31.9S, 69.7W) near the oven
– collect water (31.9S, 69.7W) by the well
– gather fresh carrots (31.9S, 69.6W) by the vegetable displays
– grab bacon (32.0S, 69.6W) at the meat stall
– gather 2 bunches of mushrooms (32.2S, 69.6W) by the mushroom tent, south of the market
– cook the stew (31.9S, 69.7W) by the oven
