Fall Festival is running this year from October 19th – November 16, 2010. This guide is here to help you find all the events available. The primary currency of this festival is Fall Festival Tokens. Collecting these can help you buy the goodies listed in the rewards section below.
The new Haunted Burrow is simply not to be missed. If you plan to spend any time in the new Haunted Burrow event, you may want to hold off buying a lot of items as there is a chance to earn them from the special chest inside the burrow freeing up your tokens to buy other goodies!
The quests are mostly broken up into four major regions in Middle Earth.
- Bree Festival Grounds (24.7S, 51.6W Breeland)
- Thorin’s Hall (13.48S, 103.2W Thorin’s Gate) – in the underground Tavern
- Duillond (24.6S, 93.1W Ered Luin)
- Shire Party Tree (29.85S, 71.48W Shire)
What is not included in this guide
The festivals of Middle Earth include certain quests that appear with each and every festival. Please see our guide on these General Festival Quests for help with those events. This would include the
- dance quests
- horse race
- Inn League quests
- Ale Association quests
Also the Fall Festival ends the quest of the Travelling Farmer. This is a quest for those with the farming profession and you had to have started this quest in the summer in order to collect your reward in the fall festival.
Deeds
Harvestmath
This deed is granted upon logging in during the Fall Festival and grants the title “Foliage Watcher”.
The Haunted Burrow
After completing the quest of the same name you’ll get the deed “The Haunted Burrow”. It has 7 tasks you need to complete in order to earn the “Burrower” title. These tasks are the other quests available for the Haunted Burrow shown in the Haunted Burrow section below.
The Haunted Burrow
The haunted burrow is the new event added this year. It’s a haunted house in the cellar of Bag End and is decorated simply amazing. This is not to be missed! Before you can enter, there is a short quest chain you must complete.
- A Cellar Door Appears
Quest Starter: Opal Goodbody (29.S, 71.6W, The Shire) Level: 10
You are sent around the area to ask about the new door that has appeared going into the lower part of the Hill. You are first sent to Lobelia and then to Gaffer Gamgee. - Bilbo’s Letter:
Quest Starter: Gaffer Gamgee (30.2S, 71.5W, The Shire) Level 10
Pre-requisite: A Cellar Door Appears
Bilbo appears to have left a letter in the care of the Gaffer and you ask if you can share it with Lobelia. After basically bugging the snot out of Lobelia she tells you that the letter says Bilbo left her the spoons and they are the key to the cellar. - The Haunted Burrow
Quest Starter: Lobelia Sackville-Baggins (29.4S, 71.3W, The Shire) Level: 10
Pre-requisite: Bilbo’s Letter
Rewards: 3 Fall Festival Tokens
The entrance to the cellar is directly below Lobelia near Opal Goodbody at 29.6S, 71.6W, The Shire. Once inside you are transported into a haunted house. Things will pop out and scare you, bookshelves reveal secret passages and running into cobwebs will temporarily blind you. It really is very well done!
Your goal is to find Lobelia in this maze of a cellar. She’s not far inside but can be easily missed if you take a wrong turn and get lost! When you enter turn right and she’s right around the corner cowering (she’s also marked on the map below). Lobelia runs off terrified and you are instructed to talk to Opal Goodbody outside about the Haunted Burrow.
Haunted Burrow Quest Map
After completing this chain a bunch of quests outside the burrow will open up that are daily and repeatable. Please refer to this map (click to see larger or view the printable version) of the cellar and locations of all the quest objectives.
The Haunted Burrow is made up of a Main Cellar (center portion of map) and 4 wings: Cobbwebbed, Creeping, Basement and Attic. There are entrances to all the wings from the Main Cellar, however only the Attic and the Basement exit back into the Main Cellar. The Cobbwebbed Wing connects to the Creeping Wing and the Creeping Wing connects to the Basement. That means if you need to just go to the Cobwebbed Wing for something, you will be forced to also go through the Creeping Wing and the Basement before you can get back out to the Main Cellar.
This makes it a bit tricky for timed quests if you don’t know the quickest route in and out. For timed quests like “Stroll through the Haunted Burrow” and “Race Through the Haunted Burrow”, I suggest taking this path:
Doing the Attic first is ideal as the exit back into the Main Cellar is near the Cobbwebbed Wing door and we already know that entering the Cobbwebbed Wing forces you to go through all the other wings in order to exit back into the Main Cellar. This is the fastest route through all the wings.
Haunted Burrow Repeatable Quests

Treasure Hunting in the Burrow
There is a fifth wing that you can find in the burrow although no quests will take you there. You will find it behind the mystery door (see the above map). Inside there are chests containing bonus Fall Festival Tokens and sometimes festival items (not the mount). These can be opened for bonus tokens once per hour. A debuff will be placed on your character counting down the time until you can collect again.
There is also a secret treasure chest in the basement that contains random assortment of festival goodies. This chest can only be used once per day and a debuff will count down when you can gather more treats!
It’s because of this chest that I recommend you hold off from buying all of the goodies from the vendor with your tokens right away. If you do this chest daily you’ll earn a bit of everything. Use your tokens for the race masks or your harvestmath mount first (keep reading to learn more).
This secret treasure chest also is the only place you can find the festival skeletal horse. This horse has a low drop rate so it will take determination and a good deal of luck to pick this up.
Apples, Pumpkins, Scrolls and Geodes
In each of the four festival areas there is a Game-Master that will have a barter icon over his or her head. These folks are not difficult to find. They’re generally in the middle of the festival area.
Directly next to the game master there will be some sort of item that when you mouse over it you will see your cursor change to a loot icon. In Bree this is a pumpkin patch, in Thorin’s Hall it’s a geode box, Duillond has a scroll box and the Shire you will find an apple tub.
When you loot this item you will randomly receive one of three items. Barter your item to the nearby Game-Master for Fall Festival Tokens. The smaller or lesser of the items are worth 1 token, medium are worth 2 and larger items are worth 3 tokens. These are based on luck so just cross your fingers and click!
After receiving your item, you will find a debuff applied to your character that prevents you from picking up another of the same item for an hour. You can run to all four places and do each of these items as each has their own hour long buff.
Troves and Trickery
Tricksters of Middle-Earth send you off to perform tricks for various people in the area in order to earn treats. Each of these 4 quests are repeatable daily .
These quests vary slightly from last year in that no longer are you performing tricks for specific named NPCs like Ted Sandyman and Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. The targets are now regular townsfolk and farmers around the area. They will have an in-progress ring icon over their head and if you speak to them, they will give you a hint which “trick” (otherwise known as an emote) they wish to see you perform.
If you want to try to figure out the riddles yourself, do not look at the tables below as it will give away the answers!

| Location | Emote |
| Labourer in corridor near tavern | /whistle |

Each quest gives you the option of 3 Fall Festival Tokens or a Mask Token for the race you are doing the tricks in (ie. Hobbit Mask Token in the Shire, Dwarf Mask Token in Thorin’s Hall, etc).
The mask tokens are used to pick up cosmetic masks available from the Game’s Masters in each of the festival areas. You must turn in 12 Fall Festival Tokens and 1 mask token to pick up the cosmetic mask. Below is the four special race masks available and which mask token they come from.
 Man Beaver Mask |
 Dwarf Bucket-head Mask |
 Elf Rabbit Mask |
 Hobbit Pumpkin Mask |
Fall Festival Mounts
The quest and method to obtain the festival mounts (excluding the special Skeleton Mount – see the section on the Haunted Burrow) is the same as other festivals. See General Festival Quests for information on that quest. However, I wanted to share pictures of the mounts available so you can decide if you need them!

 Sable Harvestmath Horse (NEW) |
Rewards
Fall Festival rewards are purchased from Fall Festival Traders that are located in each festival area. This is where you spend all the Fall Festival Tokens you’ve been collecting!

As always excellent work Goldenstar!
I can’t wait to get started… that is if we get it over here..eek!
I want pretty much everything, Emma too!
October 19, 2010 at 8:24 am
Was trying to remember the map in my head a couple days ago. Thanks so much for putting this together. So cool!
October 19, 2010 at 8:28 am
That video is really good, especially the begining,…cracked me up!
October 19, 2010 at 8:49 am
You two do it again. Another fantastic guide. I’m printing out a copy right now and getting ready to hit the festival.
October 19, 2010 at 9:39 am
Hmm we just got a festival turned on on EU Eldar!
Is the cellar only available at in-game night time as I can’t see it atm but its day. We do seem to have most the cosmetic and consumable items, and also the bar-fights in TH from last years Yule festival!
maybe the bar fights are a compensation, if so- AWESOME, beer time it is!
October 19, 2010 at 9:55 am
The cellar should be open at all times. It seems EU is not getting it. I’m so sorry! At least you have the beer fest event
October 19, 2010 at 10:10 am
Good guide! Do you guys know if it is possible to be both Kindred with the Inn League and Ale Association? I’m thinking of perhaps going Kindred for one of them and then focusing on the other, but I don’t really know if there’s enough time for that. Just curious that if you reach Kindred, can you lose it by doing the other reputation group’s quests?
October 19, 2010 at 10:15 am
I believe it is possible as last time I ran the two pub-crawl type events for both it only gives + rep and no negative effects for the others.
All the other repeatable quests do give negative rep so it would be long long road to get to kindred with both only doing the races.
You most certainly can lose kindred with one by doing the rep of another.
October 19, 2010 at 12:41 pm
You can indeed Ajay, though it takes quite a bit longer now that they’ve added the negative rep. My suggestion would be to do the delivery quests that are scattered across the lands if you of a high enough level. You should pre-purchase all of the ales necessary, and then you pick up all of the ale-association quests. Travel to each one, where you can then pick up each individual Inn League quest, turn it in, then turn in the AA quest. (I’m not sure if I can explain it more clearly than this, Try here: http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?329700-Ale-Association-and-Inn-League-Repeatables-Guide). Once you are kindred with one, and very close with the other, then just do the non-negative rep quest and you will have Kindred with both. Not only that, you’ll also have a large pile of tokens so you can pick up anything you might need.
October 19, 2010 at 1:49 pm
You can get kindred with both. In fact, you can earn about 8,000 rep with each faction PER DAY– and that’s factoring in the negative rep! If you only care about one faction, you can earn about 15-17K rep in a day. It is by far one of the quickest reps to get now. Here is a guide I put together for running the dailies for AA and IL during the summer festival:
http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?329700-Ale-Association-and-Inn-League-Repeatables-Guide
Note that there are new quests (apparently – I have not seen the fall fest yet) that add IL and AA rep during this fall fest, and also the guide above references some quests that are only available buring the summer fest. But for the most part the guide is a good place to start!
October 19, 2010 at 3:19 pm
Thanks for the replies, nice guide!
October 20, 2010 at 10:21 am
I did most of the gathering and did half of the IL / AA run yesterday. The walkthrough has some specific and necessary ports / swifts which aren’t available to everyone. It looks more feasible to accomplish the run in 2 chunks instead of one long marathon that may run over the 1 hour limit.
October 19, 2010 at 10:25 am
That video made me soil my armour! (Catch the Monty Python reference?) The guide is very, very good. You should invite Pungo to do a talk about the lore of the Harvestmath.
October 19, 2010 at 11:32 am
Amazing work as always.
October 19, 2010 at 12:22 pm
The first bottle is not blue, or there’s a bug
October 19, 2010 at 12:26 pm
It is possible there are tweaks I need to correct. My experience was in beta (I’m still at work and not able to play) but I will update when I’m able!
October 19, 2010 at 2:13 pm
White, Blue, Orange and Blue
October 19, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Thank you so much, for all the hard work and effort that goes into this site. I just got clued into it and I’m so thankful and thrilled I was…I was getting a bit overwhelmed and bogged down with the festival. Part of it is just the amount of people there, but with a guide and at least some clue, it is making the festival all the more enjoyable! Thanks so much!!
October 19, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Wait, I just did the bottle quest, and it’s White – Blue – Orange – Blue. Not starting with Blue.
Maybe they changed it from Beta?
October 19, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Thank you and Slaybo both. Like I said above my guide was built while this was in beta. I’m at work until 5 and cannot play with the festival until tonight. I’m sure this isn’t the only little thing tweaked since beta
October 19, 2010 at 4:37 pm
For me the potions were all blue…
October 19, 2010 at 5:00 pm
Ah tricky. They made it random! In beta I ran this quest over and over to make sure it was always the same. Those tricksy devs!
October 19, 2010 at 5:19 pm
I suspected something like this… forces you to read the clue each time. Clue=bottle is probably set, but not the order of the clues.
October 20, 2010 at 7:30 pm
If it is random, then it is random per account, as for all of my characters and all the times I’ve run through it, it is definitely White – Blue – Orange – Blue
October 20, 2010 at 7:47 pm
When I did it today and yesterday I got the same but some are saying they are getting others.
October 21, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Mine have all been Blue, Blue, Orange, Blue.
October 21, 2010 at 3:51 pm
The one in the guide worked for me. Hmmm
October 19, 2010 at 4:53 pm
I really need to pick up a few of those haunted trees. One of the coolest looking yard items I’ve seen yet.
October 19, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Awesome Guide!
I think I will have to go after that skeleton horse. Looks way too cool to pass up.
October 19, 2010 at 6:47 pm
Hey…great guide
Just one question… where can I barter the festival cosmetics?
I’ve been at every festival trader… but they only have decorations and some consumeables
October 19, 2010 at 7:58 pm
The cosmetics are with the Fall Festival Trader on page 2.
October 19, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Thank you so much for this guide. I generally don’t like to spoil myself, but I have a horrid sense of direction at best–this helped so much!
October 19, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Nice work.
Sadly, the EU servers haven’t got the Haunted Barrow yet. It’s apparently being opened when f2p goes live – but that was meant to be September.
Also… haven’t been able to find the ‘boo’ emote or the cloaks anywhere to get, are they specific traders rather than the regular ones? I can only find the racial ones.
October 19, 2010 at 9:32 pm
This is awesome! Thanks so much!
October 19, 2010 at 10:28 pm
For the record, “bucket of fear” causes the target to cower, not vomit.
October 19, 2010 at 11:00 pm
thanks.
October 19, 2010 at 11:10 pm
This is the best, the map of the haunted house made my life so much easier after printing it out. My only suggestion would be to not make the background black, I probably used a few dollars in ink printing the thing then had to let it dry awhile =P.
Anyway totally awesome guide. Thanks a ton!
October 19, 2010 at 11:18 pm
Black was basically not a choice. I would screenshot the map of the cellar I was in and then I pieced them all together in a single image and added all my notes. The default background of the map in game is black so it was easiest to just stick with it rather than try to cut out each and every wing. I see your point and am sorry.
October 20, 2010 at 10:54 am
I took you map into a photo editor and made a negative of it, so that the background is white and the walls are black. I then printed it out on my black-and-white printer and drew on it to plan my course.
October 20, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Thanks Wally
That worked great.
Nero PhotoSnap allowed me to invert the colors on the map so I ended up with a color version. The walls are clearly marked.
The colors are all different from the original but they are true to the key.
October 20, 2010 at 12:35 am
Don’t be sorry, the map is helping tremendously! The whole guide is top notch, thanks for all the info.
October 20, 2010 at 12:41 am
Way to go guys! Once again, you’ve outdone yourselves.
October 20, 2010 at 4:18 am
Could you please add the other items purchasable from the tokens, like the Yard decorations (or point me where to view them, if possible)?
This guide was VERY informative by the way, excellent job!
October 20, 2010 at 6:00 am
There is a link to Kia’s decoration guide for the fall festival items. It seemed silly for me to list them twice when she did such a great jov updating her guide.
October 20, 2010 at 4:45 am
Great guide, thanks for this.
I must be super lucky, the chest that gives you a special drop gave me the Skeleton Horse first drop, weeehaaa.
October 20, 2010 at 4:47 am
I have to say too that I was very impressed with a couple of the festival items I picked up tonight.. it’s not often that Turbine does ‘pop culture’ references but I’ve spotted two so far..
The Candle & Mirrors item that summons ghosts has in it’s description ‘What did you do, Ray?!’ which is a line from Ghostbusters.
The Black Silk Glove has the name ‘Bigby’ stitched on it which was an NPC in Dungeons and Dragons that created ‘hand’ spells such as ‘Bigby’s Crushing Hand’..
I’m wondering how many more there are now..
October 20, 2010 at 5:39 pm
The EU version of the gloves say ‘Gibgy’. I wonder if that’s a typo or if they changed it randomly…
October 20, 2010 at 7:26 am
Very informative – thank you very much for the map!
October 20, 2010 at 9:13 am
Just wanted to point out a small typo-
Specimen Jars: Gross Bugs
Bugs cover the ground under your target causing them to stop their feet.
Bugs cover the ground under your target causing them to stomp their feet.
Great guide BTW.
October 20, 2010 at 11:00 am
By the way, the bottle order in the PDF doesn’t match the bottle order you have on this page. That threw me off the first couple of times I tried it.
The “white – blue – orange – blue” order was correct for me.
Thanks for the great guide!
October 20, 2010 at 11:16 am
The PDF will be updated after I’m sure I’m done tweeking the main.
October 20, 2010 at 11:11 am
Thanks for the great map to the burrow, I printed it out after getting lost for an hour.
October 20, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Terrific Guide, Helped me out a bunch!!
October 20, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Fantastic post!
I have a problem with the race. I’ve done it once (a day ago) and then today I went and the NPC said under the “Pending quests” title… “Nameofthequest (Retry) 1M”. I left and thought that I’d be corrected later, but it still says the same. Any idea?
I don’t have any Festival quest in the Quest log… I don’t know what to do.
Thanks in advance!
October 20, 2010 at 10:20 pm
You did the festival horse race? Did you complete it? It sounds like you do have it and need to cancel it but it should be listed under Festival quests.
October 21, 2010 at 3:30 am
That’s the vector quest, it sounds like. Go to the track and you should be able to get the quest.
October 21, 2010 at 7:28 am
I too am having problems getting the cosmetic rewards etc, each zone npc offers just 1/1 pages! is this a bug?
October 21, 2010 at 7:37 am
I’m not sure. Are you talking to the Fall Festival Trader NPC? It’s strange they only have one page. Visit the one in the Shire. She’s the one I primarily have been using personally due to her closeness to the Haunted Burrow. If only one page there it must be a bug.
October 22, 2010 at 2:29 pm
omg, ive tried them all including the one in the Shire, and they have just one page!! How will i get the other items??
October 22, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Congrats! Your guide is so good that the game itself is sending folks here, just check out he LOTRO login info box!!!
October 22, 2010 at 9:27 pm
A lot of the things listed, such as the Raven Mask and Raven Cloak, are NOT available from any of the festival traders. I checked all four, and none of them have it. I’m told these are available as random drops from the mystery chest.

Doh! Ignore (or delete) previous comment. I didn’t realize there’s a PAGE 2!!!

I purchased my items from the Festival Trader.

Excellent guide! Thank you.

For the ‘once-a-day’ chest, is it once a day or once every two days? I did the basement chest last night and it says I have 1d 6h to go! And I did it almost 24h ago. So does that mean it’s once ever 48h? D: Yeesh.
Congrats, you got mentioned on the login box.
(though I had already found this prior to the mention)
October 23, 2010 at 8:26 am
The basement chest is on a 24 hour timer. I’m not sure why it would tell you 1 day.
October 23, 2010 at 4:05 am
Outstanding work! The pix of the mounts and cosmetic items are most greatly appreciated.
…and the work-up of that Cellar. Maybe now I can overcome my fear and try the place again.
And grats on the login box mention.

Does anyone know if the “Cloaked Figure” it the main cellar ever does anything? I’ve tried all kinds of things, I’ve heard he does something, but I haven’t been able to find what, so I’m doubting it.
October 23, 2010 at 8:24 am
no he just wanders around adding atmosphere
October 23, 2010 at 6:43 am
AWESOME work!!!! very impressed! and thank you for posting and sharing!

I’ve been hearing a consitent rumour on my server that the Cloaked Figure actually does have a reward associated with it and that the people in the know about it are sitting on the information to keep said reward exclusive. Was thinking if anyone had any insight into this Fake Black Rider holding a cowbell and a striker it might be you lot.
Thoughts? Or empty speculation?
October 23, 2010 at 1:52 pm
I have followed the wandering cloaked figure around. If he does anything other than add to the ambiance of the place, I have not seen it.
October 23, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Interesting. I’ve been staring at (emoting to, playing cowbell for) the little bugger off and on for a few days now… I’ve never seen him get out of his seat thus far. Thank you though to the time and reply.
October 23, 2010 at 4:35 pm
The one that wanders is not the same as the one that is seated. The cloaked figure doesn’t move as far as I have seen. The one that walks around actually is named “ghost” or something similar and goes and torments one of the scared hobbits.
October 23, 2010 at 10:37 pm
Do you get the skeleton horse from him when the chest relents?
October 24, 2010 at 8:08 am
No. The chest is the only place the horse will drop.
October 24, 2010 at 9:35 am
I noticed your guide made it on the “Community Spotlight” as I entered the game this morning. Grats!
It a wonderful guide that has helped greatly. Excellent work, Goldenstar. I think Turbine should hire you for all the festival guides.

I got the skeleton mount today, i’m so happy!
October 24, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Congrats!
October 24, 2010 at 7:24 pm
i got my skeleton horse on my first try

First of all, the haunted burrow is awesome! A real blast to play and great graphics and games. Glad you updated the Tricks and Troves to new NPCs also. The Inn League and Ale Assoc rivalry is fun as well and you have made the rep gain a lot easier.
I am hoping LOTRO might institute a token equivalent to the race token for the fest horses. With lag and an older machine I can never get through the entire race route for a win. I have tried lowering all my graphics, doing away with cloaks or anything else that flaps, running the course first to load it, jumping over the sticky mire, riding through it, etc.
I can’t even get over the boards in a practice run and it has become quite frustrating. At least I could win a race with the old system, even if I did have to run it at 3am! I love the horses and would love get all of them, and am working for the rep mounts, but the race mounts still elude me. A few of my characters were lucky enough to have some race tokens from before the 29 level minimum went into effect, so now they have the Harvestmath Horse, otherwise would not be able to.
I am a VIP (lifetime member) and might not mind paying TPs (have not yet received all mine VIP points yet) but would prefer an in-game option (i.e.: 50 or even 100 tokens to barter for a race token) plus the document of ownership and extra tokens..
Hope you all consider it.

Actually it is possible to earn the race token other than winning the race. If you are kindred with either the Ale Association or the Inn League you can trade your faction tokens for a race token.

I got the skeleton mount today too.
October 26, 2010 at 10:38 am
Howcome you were able to purchase the cosmetics items with festival tokens, from the festival NPC’s, when clearer , from many others experiences too, there are no page twos containing other items on any of them?
October 26, 2010 at 10:51 am
There are 2 possible answers here.
a) you are looking at the wrong vendor. The vendor is name “Fall Festival Trader” and standing in the festival area.
b) there is a bug you are experiencing.
There is in fact a page two. I wouldn’t make it up just to lead you on a wild goose chase. I can take a screenshot tonight if you truly do not believe me.
October 26, 2010 at 11:28 am
lol dont be offended, its not that I dont believe you, I too can take a screen shot showing 1/1 pages as my proof, as others have experienced too ://
Ofc I am looking at the right NPC, I and others already posted on here, can see the scarecrow etc, and the list of consumable rewards, etc but not the cosmetics on this mysterious page two that is just not showing up!
October 26, 2010 at 11:54 am
Only advice I can give is to tell you to /bug it. Is it the same for all your characters? The cosmetics are not bound. You can share them between characters.

I can’t seem to get the quest from Opal for the haunted burrow, anyone else having problems?
October 26, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Check your mail box. You should have a letter with an attachment. The attachment starts a quest that sends you to see Opal.
If Opal still doesn’t have a quest, check your quest log and look under “Festivals”. Perhaps you’re on a different step and didn’t realize it!
