You got yourself a nice little hobbit or dwarf. But their feet grow tired quite fast. Then you spot those things with four legs with players on them. You already had one like those, but it dissappeared after 24 hours. And now you’re dammed to walk to mordor on your own two feet.

Follow Me! (A Guide to LOTRO’s Follow Mechanics)

Jun 06, 2022 | guides, midsummer festival guide, learn about our midsummer festival and get started earning your rewards.

Welcome to Midsummer and the Grand Wedding of Arwen and Aragorn! The Midsummer Festival returns every year to The Lord of the Rings Online and offers players the opportunity to celebrate in Minas Tirith and beyond! This guide will get you started with the event and help you get where you need to go. 

How to Get Started 

When the Midsummer Festival is active you will have an auto-bestowed quest available to select from the Quests Available pop-up UI when you log into the game. Completing “The Festival of Midsummer Has Arrived!” grants you a map to Minas Tirith (Midsummer), which is a special instance of Minas Tirith where many of the Midsummer Festival events are available. You can also Swift-travel to Minas Tirith (Midsummer) from many major location Stable-masters across Middle-earth: 

• Beorninghus 
• South Bree 
• Caras Galadhon 
• Michel Delving 
• Minas Tirith 
• Minas Tirith – Main Gate 
• Minas Tirith (Midsummer) - Craftsmen’s Tier, High Stables, Players’ Tier, Sages’ Tier, Soldiers’ Tier 
• Thorin’s Gate 
• Zidir-Nesad, The Steepset (Northern Mattugard) 

It is not possible to directly ride or walk to Minas Tirith (Midsummer). 

When you get to Minas Tirith (Midsummer), speak to Faeleth, located on the main path into Minas Tirith (22.4N, 53.6W), to pick up the wrapper Quests “In Celebration of Midsummer”, “A Fondness for Festivity”, and “The Majesty of Midsummer”. Here’s how they work: 

• In Celebration of Midsummer: Complete 10 Midsummer Festival Quests (Daily).
• A Fondness for Festivity: Complete “In Celebration of Midsummer” three times.
• The Majesty of Midsummer: Complete “A Fondness for Festivity” four times. 
• A Fondness for Festivity has Intro, Intermediate, Advanced, and Final stages, each which offer rewards for completing them. There are twelve days’ worth of “A Fondness for Festivity” and “In Celebration of Midsummer” quests, so plan accordingly! 

There are also Deeds that will be completed as you play the Midsummer Festival event that will earn you unique seasonal rewards! 

A Note About the Wedding 

The actual wedding ceremony between Arwen and Aragorn takes place in a series of quests associated with Volume V, Book 1 of the Epic Story. To get started with Volume V.
