Festival Grounds

Festivities

The Haunted Burrow

Main article: The Haunted Burrow

The Haunted Burrow is a spooky, fun-filled house of scary sights and sounds. It is only available during the Harvest Festival and accessible after completing the short quest series starting with A Cellar Door Appears and ending with The Haunted Burrow. Along with daily quests which reward Fall Festival Tokens, there are many other hidden surprises to be found within!

Wistmead

Main article: Wistmead

Wistmead is a closed location accessed exclusively during the Harvest Festival, introduced in 2018. It is accessible via a horse near Bingo Boffin[29.8S, 71.2W] during the Festival. It is not accessible during other times.

Set up by a team of hobbits from Hobbiton and Bywater in the span of roughly 2 weeks, the area's main attraction is the large wheat maze dotting the center of the clearing. The ruined structures suggest that the woods were once inhabited long ago.


Mini-games

Mini Games

Try your hand at games such as Geode-hunting, Scroll-grabbing, Apple Bobbing & Pumpkin Picking. You can participate in each mini-game once each hour.

Troves and Trickery

Main article: Troves and Trickery

Troves and Trickery are quests available during the Harvest Festival with the aim of provoking certain NPCs using appropriate emotes on them. The rewards for these quests include festival mask tokens which are different for each location. For instance, a reward for Troves and Trickery -- Thorin's Hall is a Dwarf Mask Token which can be turned in for a Bucket Festival Mask.

General Festival Events

Festival Dances

Main article: Dance of the Races

During all seasonal Festivals, Dance Leaders will teach characters up to eight special racial dances (two from each Race) by completing dance lessons. There is one Dance Leader located in each of the festival grounds of Thorin's Hall Inn and the Festival Garden in Ered Luin, The Party Tree in the Shire, and the Festival Grounds in Bree-land.

Dance lessons take place approximately every 20 minutes, and the quests are available for about 5 minutes before the dance begins. As of U20, the quest start times are random.

When the Dance Leader starts, target the leader and follow their instructions using the commands /dance1, /dance2, or /dance3 as they instruct you. The time to perform each step decreases with the quest's progression.

At the end of the lesson, the Dance Leader returns to their original position and you are able to select your reward: either the first or second dance emote from that race. Complete the lessons again to learn all the dances! You can do one (successful) dance per day for each race.

Festival Horse Races

Main article: Festival Horse Races

The Bree Derby

Each festival brings exciting horse races to the Shire Race-track and the Bree-land Festival Grounds. By completing a race in time, players can win festival tokens which can be exchanged for festival rewards.

A Bit of Drinking

Main articles: The Inn League and The Ale Association

The Inn League and The Ale Association are looking for a few good drinkers to cause mischief at the smug inns of the realm. Raise a mug and check out the available quests and rewards!

In addition to these regular seasonal quests, the Inn League is looking for some vintage wine in the Haunted Burrow and the Ale Association wants to play tricks on some of the already scared hobbits.
