In every festival area except Bree Land you can find an NPC who will send you on a quest to find five missing items. They’ll give you hints as to where the items are and the search area is small, making the quest fairly simple. Make sure to use the delete key to highlight nearby objects, which will make the hunt easier. If you’re having trouble, here are the precise locations of the items.
First, the Shire hunt. The book can be found on a rock just east of the Party Tree. The wine is on a table just behind the character that gives you the quest. The twine is resting at the base of the Party Tree. The teapot is on a table near the stoves, and finally the parasol is just down the hill from the Party Tree.
Next is the Elf hunt in Duillond. The goblet is on a table near the ovens. The jewellery box is on the steps of the northernmost building. The blue book is on the edge of the fountain, while the brown book is by a flowerbed at the top of the south stairs. Lastly, the bundle of books can be found across from the vendors.
Finally, the Thorin’s Hall hunt. The blue bottle is near the minstrel trainer. The green jar is by the vault-keepers. The note can be found by taking a right turn out of the tavern. The pack is just outside of the Blue Stone Garrison. The red jar is next to the auctioneers.
Your reward for completing these scavenger hunts is some special pipeweed, as well as recipes for this pipeweed which you can learn if you are a farmer.
