Quoted from Dr-pin:

You have five boxes on the screen. Each box can be completed, giving you a stone in the side of the box.
1.
They are beast. When you hit all the four beasts and played beast mb. You fet that stone.
2.
Smaug. Spell lock on the push targets in the middle pf.
When you spelled lock go up right ramp to smaug it locks balls and when done three times, you get smaug mb and second stone.
3.
Spell elf, man and dwarf and complete a mode. Modes are started going right ramp, when smaug lock isnt completed. The mode need to be completed. There are lots of different mode and you open them up by shooting targets on pf. You can change wich mode is up via the left ramp. Mode have big difficulty difference, the harder the mode completed, the more points during wizard mode. When mode completed stone three is yours.
4.
Reaching erebor. This is completed via doing the spinners, doing spinners also have other advantages such as an extra ball whilst starting modes for example.
When enough spinners->reaching erebor and you get your fourth stone.
5.
Gathering the whole mission crew. All over the playfield there are shots for the different crewmenbers. Get them all, and you have stone five.
When you get all five stones, hit one of the two holes and enjoy the best wizard modes in pinball.
1. Into the fire
2. Barrelescape
3. Battle of the five armies.
There are lots others to do, walk the modes, killing smaug etc, but start with the above and have lots of fun.

Quoted from Mr_Outlane:

About the Mode Arkenstone....
This is huge! All modes have a star rating in the upper right of the small book display on playfield. These are the multipliers for when you play the wizard modes! Try to enter the wizard modes with at least a 3 star mode complete. This will give you even scoring.
- 1 star mode = X25% scoring
- 2 star mode = X50%
- 3 star mode = X100%
- 4 star mode = X200%
- 5 star mode = X400%
I don't have much luck completing 5 star modes at all! So I shoot for 3 star and if I'm feeling good, I go for 4 star modes. This is how you rack up the big scores in Wizard modes!! Hit the Book ramp when lit to change modes and remember to use action button on lock down bar when lit to select between Lock and Mode.
Shoot the Mode ramp when lit to start mode. See backbox display for the state of the action button. It does many things!

Quoted from greeneye:

I can’t believe Hobbit is on the bottom of the list when it comes to JJP pins on the top 100. Seriously what gives? Do people actually play the game before they rank it?

Quoted from VisitorQ:

Thanks to Lloyd and the fast shipping of Amazon I had my Hobbit back up in less than 24 hours.
