New Quests for Spring Festival

There, you will find new festival quests with their own daily and weekly wrappers that can be advanced in tandem with the main spring festival wrappers. You can get the party started by talking to Hughbert Larch at the Bree-land Festival grounds. New rewards available during this year's Spring Festival include Daffodil Celebration cosmetics, goat mount and pet, a new Stoor dance emote, and several new housing decorations. The Spring Festival begins at 10:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) on Thursday, March 12th and continues until 3:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) on March 31st. Learn more about the Spring Festival in our guide on LOTRO.com.
