During the LOTRO Midsummer Festival, there are quests outside Minas Tirith. These are found in the “usual suspects” of the Party Tree, Celondim, Duillond, Bree and Thorin’s Hall. Although you can earn an additional eight Midsummer Tokens, the real benefit of doing these quests is to obtain the kits that you need to make Without […]
