Missions are the backbone of the current daily loop — most Mission pools contain missions completable once per day, and they feed three separate weekly wrappers at once. Do not count them separately: running Missions naturally clears On a Mission (15) and On a Continuing Mission (45), and running them AS Delvings simultaneously advances the three Delving wrappers. Update 49 improved level-160 Delving Mission rewards including incomparable armour, and Update 49.3 corrected Mission monster scaling that Update 49 had broken by accident.

• priorityRun your daily Missions

  Pace them against the weekly targets of 15 and 45 rather than clearing every available Mission. Also a solid source of Legendary Item Reward Track XP

  Reward Mission rewards plus Legendary Item XP
• Run eligible Missions as Delvings

  Delving the Missions you were going to run anyway is free progress on three weekly wrappers. Tier 6+ is what Delve Into the Darkness needs

  Reward Improved level-160 Delving rewards including incomparable armour

⚠️ The ROTATION changes Monday at approximately 10:00 AM Eastern — which is NOT the daily reset and is deliberately not modelled as one, because it changes which instance is featured rather than when your quest clears. Update 49's roster is seven instances: Great Barrow — The Maze, Sarch Vorn, The Black Grave, The Court of Seregost, Halls of Night, The Ruined City, and Ost Dunhoth — Disease and Poison Wing. Worth doing at level 160 specifically: the cap-level reward boxes can drop Mûr Ghala Craft and Heraldry recipe selection boxes for level 151+ recipes.

• Complete the Featured Instance daily quest

  Whichever instance is currently featured. The quests now award normal XP as well as Legendary Item XP

  Reward XP, Legendary Item XP, and level-160 boxes that can contain Mûr Ghala recipe selection boxes

The current level-cap landscape loop, introduced with Kingdoms of Harad. These are a rotating regional board rather than a fixed list, so this is one entry rather than sixteen — you take what the board offers, not all of it. Quests seen in the rotation include A Kit for Rune-reading, Acid for Acquiring Assets, Assessing the Blight, Attacking the Blight, At the Carrion Roost, Keeping Up Inspections, Lay Them to Rest, Managing the Land, More Wood for Trade, Respect for the Dead, Taking the Fight to Them, Terror at Abníshu, To Restore the Lodes, Taken in the Night and A Threat from Ancient Times. They feed the Defending Mûr Ghala and Further Defence of Mûr Ghala weeklies in the weekly bucket.

• priorityClear the Mûr Ghala regional dailies on offer

  Take whatever the regional board is showing. These are what feed both Mûr Ghala weeklies, so skipping them stalls the weekly progression as well

  Reward Commendations and Mûr Ghala reputation

Update 49 reopened and substantially reworked the Delving of Frór. SSG's notes describe commanders at two locations offering four new quests each — three dailies aimed at enemy players, the lesser creatures in Gaergoth's menagerie and Gaergoth's lieutenants, plus a weekly Gaergoth kill which is in the weekly bucket. The rework also added new entrances and exits, so the Delving now doubles as a fast underground route across parts of the Ettenmoors. Relic capture moved into the Delving and the artifact and siege systems were revised; holding relics can improve movement speed, damage, Commendations and Glory or Infamy.

• priorityComplete the three daily Delving of Frór quests

  One against enemy players, one against the lesser creatures in Gaergoth's menagerie, one against his lieutenants. SSG states outright that these help Monster Players advance the Reward Track

  Reward Monster Player Reward Track progress and Commendations
• optionalTake part in relic and siege objectives

  Optional and driven by what is happening on the map. Relic capture now runs through the Delving of Frór, and the ballista and battering-ram variants are part of the revised siege system

  Reward Movement speed, damage, Commendations, Glory or Infamy

The Umbar Craft Guild daily needs Umbar Guild Member status first, and each profession has its own daily recipe quest. Five daily completions in a week is what triggers the weekly reward, so this is the daily half of a weekly objective rather than a standalone chore. Task capacity is upgradeable — check your own cap rather than assuming.

• Do your Umbar Craft Guild daily

  Requires Umbar Guild Member status. Do it at least five times across the week to trigger the weekly reward

  Reward Guild reputation, and progress toward the weekly
• event onlyWork any active Crafting Event tasks

  Forester and Hard Tack crafting events run periodically rather than permanently — check the events list to see whether one is live right now

  Reward Event crafting rewards
• Use your daily Task allowance

  Turn in eligible trophy and task items at Task Bulletin Boards. Your allowance is upgradeable, so check your own cap

  Reward Reputation, character XP, Legendary Item XP and Task deed progress

✅ HARVESTMATH CONFIRMED IN-GAME Oct 8 2026. Written to name THE SLOT rather than the festival, because LOTRO runs five of these a year through the same shape and the previous version was built around Farmers Faire, which ended September 8. THE HARVESTMATH (FALL) FESTIVAL runs OCTOBER 8 at 10am Eastern (14:00 UTC) to NOVEMBER 2 at 3am Eastern (08:00 UTC) — the close is EST, after the November 1 clock change, whatever the 49.7 release notes' "-4 GMT" label says. Outside a festival window this group has nothing to do, and that is correct, not a gap in the list. HARVESTMATH SPECIFICALLY: everything runs through ROSA HORNBLOWER, the Fall Festival Trader, at THE PARTY TREE in the Shire beside the Haunted Burrow entrance — she gives the quest chain and sells the rewards. The currency is the FALL FESTIVAL TOKEN, and ✅ IT CARRIES OVER: tokens stay in the Barter Wallet after November 2 and can be spent at next year’s Harvestmath, so there is no need to dump them before the close — only the vendor leaves. New in 2026: the Midnight Raven set (Hood, Robe, Boots, Scarf, Leg-guards, an Accessory and a Gift-wrapped Selection Box), the Steed of the Midnight Raven, the Tome of the Midnight Raven pet, Dark Ritual Altars, Bonepiles and Midnight Raven furniture — for Fall Festival Tokens, with some mount and pet variants for Mithril Coins. Festival dailies reset at LOTRO’s standard daily reset (3:00 AM Eastern), not on a timer of their own. FARMERS FAIRE SPECIFICALLY, kept because it will be true again next year: "A Salutation to Faire Days" needs 12 DAYS, NOT 15. SSG’s own Farmers Faire guide still says fifteen, but the Update 46 release notes state verbatim that the wrapper "will now take 12 total days to complete rather than 15". The release note is the change record and wins — do not correct this back from the guide. SSG publishes the whole year at once on its public event schedule, and states "ALL TIMES EASTERN/SERVER TIME" at the top — which is the §67a ruling in their own words.

• Complete the festival’s daily quest wrapper

  HARVESTMATH: the daily objective is A Spirited Harvest — complete 10 Harvestmath activities each day. Each day counts toward A Bountiful Harvest, which climbs through four tiers (Intro, Intermediate, Advanced, Final) of 3 days each, and the full 12 days completes the meta-chain A Fortune of Harvest Spirit. Pick it up from Rosa Hornblower at the Party Tree in the Shire. Every LOTRO festival has a wrapper like this; check the day count each year, because SSG has changed it before.

  Reward Fall Festival Tokens and Legendary Item XP (both the daily and the final meta-chain pay LI XP)
• Run the festival’s seasonal instance daily quest

  HARVESTMATH: Boss from the Vaults: Naruhel the Red-maid, queued through the Instance Finder (Shift+F). The instance can be run without limit for its normal loot, but the quest inside it that pays the premium daily reward box completes ONCE PER DAY PER CHARACTER. Fall Festival Tokens carry over to next year, so there is no rush to spend them before the festival closes.

  Reward Fall Festival Tokens; the daily quest offers a choice of Virtue XP, with a chance at seasonal cosmetics, housing decorations and level-scaled gear

Twenty years of daily hubs are still running and NONE of them is required for level-160 progression. Enumerating them would bury the entries above, so this is one entry: Hytbold and East Rohan reconstruction, Wildermore, Dol Amroth City Watch, Central Gondor and Old Anórien, Minas Tirith, Pelennor and North Ithilien, Mordor Allegiance and Gorgoroth, the Dale-lands and Ered Mithrin, Minas Morgul and Wells of Langflood, Elderslade and War of Three Peaks, Gundabad, and King's Gondor and Umbar regional repeatables. Go to them for reputation, cosmetics, deeds, housing items or a specific currency — not because a tracker says to.

• optionalRun older regional dailies you actually want something from

  Pick the hub that has the reputation, cosmetic, deed or currency you are chasing. None of these gates current progression

  Reward Legacy reputation, cosmetics, deeds and currencies
