Tales of the Shire: How to Complete A Taste of Bywater
The Taste of Bywater quest in Tales of the Shire is about creating an official dish for the town and hosting a shared meal for key villagers. It introduces venue unlocking, cooking multiple servings, and planning an event at a larger location than your home.
How to Start Taste of Bywater
The quest begins as part of the Bywater village campaign story. You are tasked with creating a signature dish and serving it to specific villagers. You need four servings of the dish and a venue that can handle more guests than your Hobbit-hole.
Unlocking the Three-Farthing Stone
Your home is too small for this gathering. The quest requires using the Three-Farthing Stone, an outdoor landmark. Look for sparkles near the stone and inspect them to unlock it as a shared meal venue.
Once unlocked, you can choose it when planning gatherings.
Hosting the Gathering
Use the writing desk in your home to send invitations to Young Tom Cotton, Sandyman, Willow Took, and Nora Burrows. Prepare four servings of the official Bywater dish and place them in your inventory.
Offsite gatherings do not allow pulling from your pantry, so make sure the food is on hand.
Travel to the Three-Farthing Stone, host the meal, and serve each guest their dish to complete the quest.
Rewards
Completing the Taste of Bywater quest increases fellowship with all four guests and permanently unlocks the Three-Farthing Stone for future shared meals with up to four guests.
Final Blurb
Taste of Bywater is an early community-focused quest in Tales of the Shire. It introduces the shared meal system, larger venues, and fellowship growth, making it a key part of Bywater’s development.
