Apparently the goodly denizens of Middle Earth enjoy a good piece of tomfoolery now and then. The antics reach their apex during the Autumn Harvest Festival when adventurers and crafting folk are invited to play tricks on others in return for harvest tokens and four special masks.
The masks are divided racially:
The Harvest Festival is once more upon us, and the good Free Peoples of Middle Earth are once more celebrating the seasonal turn with games and merriment.
There are several different components of the Harvest Festival: horse and pony races, trick-playing, harvest party games and the carry over farming event from the Summer Festival. In this post I’ll go over the four repeatable party games.
What do Hobbits love more than full dinner plate and a smoking bowl of pipe-weed? A good-sized tankard of beer, that’s what!
One of the more sought-after titles in LOTRO, “Shire Brew-Master,” is a lot easier to get than most people think. Well, it’s not that easy … but at least you don’t have to dodge any Hungry Hobbits.
Fresh from the trials and tribulations of working your way up through the Shire Postal Service’s food chain and you still want more grab-and-dash quests? Well take a run over to Holly Hornblower in Hobbiton (31.2S, 71.1W).
She sets you off on a mad dash to distribute her pies across the Shire. In return you will receive the Virtue Trait Patience +1, along with Hornblower’s Pie Recipe, a sample Hornblower’s Pie and the title “Pie-runner” which will let everyone know that you are Holly’s b… est friend.
The Shire’s Postmen need your help! It seems that with all the gossip flying around the Shire about Lobelia Sackville-Baggins’ party the daily post has fallen behind.
There are 13(+1) Postal Quests that comprise Restoring the Quick Post. They are all essentially the same quest, but because of the Shire’s geography they all take different amounts of skill and luck. To complete them you must grab a satchel of mail from the table of the Postman you just accepted the quest from. Then RUN!
