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.
There are many references in LotRO to the vast lore that J.R.R. Tolkien left behind. Over the course of 50-some years he wrote notes and rough drafts of the history of Middle Earth that comprised many thousands of years of history.
When traveling in Bree-land you will sometimes come upon remnants of the ancient North-Kingdoms of the Dúnedain. By visiting (and in two instances activating) all six of these relics you will gain Idealism + 1.
“Old tales tell of eight Entwives who passed from the south into the Old Forest, never to be seen again. Could they be true?”
Flowers of the Old Forest is a Bree-land Deed that will give you the Virtue trait Idealism +1 when completed.
To complete this deed you must find and use (i.e. activate) eight flowers scattered throughout the Old Forest.
When you hit level 15 as a champion you receive the quest Blade of Renown from any of the Champion trainers in Middle Earth. This gives you a great trait, Vicious Strikes, and the Guardian’s Axe, a nice one-handed axe. Not coincidentally, Vicious Strikes comes just as your first Class Trait slot opens. So if you haven’t earned a class trait through any deeds, this trait will fit nicely there.
