So I had a bunch of leaves and was curious what some of the food items did, and I happened to pick up the “Extra Deliciously Tasty Biscuits” which are barterable for 3 leaves for 2 biscuits. When you eat one of these leaves you’ll get 1 of 50 possible fortunes, so they’re basically fortune cookies, or fortune biscuits 
. They are broken up into 5 different deeds and getting all 10 in that deed gives a new title. The cool thing (I wish I would’ve read this sooner) was mentioned on the forums is that all these fortunes are tradable. Not only are the titles fun, but the actual fortunes themselves are have some cool lore comments as well. So, go stomp some shrews, then find a group to eat and trade fortunes to work towards the titles! Here’s a list of the different deeds, titles, and some of the fortunes I have found:

So I put up a few posts, videos, and snapshots yesterday of the festival – if you haven’t seen them check out as I was mainly shrew stomping and enjoying the kegs. Today I wanted to put out a couple of updates and share some posts from others.
Outside of my efforts yesterday, I was back in festival mode today. I did some more shrew stomping to finish off collecting the items I wanted (the table and the hat mainly) as well as finishing the shrew title. However, the depressing part of that was once I finished there’s an advanced title “Tamer of the Shrew” that’s for stomping 400 shrews. That does only work out to 40 games which is roughly 3 hours of non-stop stomping. I may end up doing it as I have to admit it is working as a good stress reliever for me I’m also starting to work on the dwarven Ale Association quests as I’ve seen some of the posts/videos and find them quite amusing. Here’s a video from KurganNazzir showing one of them:

So over Monday and Tuesday I managed to do a few Skirmishes – even managing to fail one I have done successfully before :/. Finished off a few deeds with those skirmishes, and moved my way closer to a new level and a new look for my soldier.
The big thing for this week, though, is the Lord of the Rings Online Spring Festival. It started up yesterday and will likely run for about a month or so (no guarantees). Read beyond the break for more.

Spring has arrived and 2010 has some new events in store for the Spring Festival. This guide is here to help you discover all the fun to be had and help you earn those seasonal goodies!
The main bartering item for this event are called Spring Leaf. The quests to earn these tokens are repeatable so you can in fact earn enough tokens to get all the goodies the festival offers (granted you have enough time).
There is a deed called “Spring is Dandy” for most of these quests and completing them all will grant you the title of “Spring Dandy”.
