Guide to Budgeford and Frogmorton Quests

By Darkgolem

Budgeford and Frogmorton are two communities in the Shire, along the river. Most of these quests are around level 10, and contain some of the first truly challenging quests for a new adventurer in Lotro (who are playing hobbits, that is). There are a surprising number of "serious" quests here, atypical of usual lighthearted quests found in the Shire. There are three main quest lines here, all of them fun, and interesting. The first is "The Spectre of the Black Rider", the funniest of the three quests. Basically, a foolish hobbit (who obviously has no idea of what dread beings the black riders are) is fooling around, "haunting" the sties of Budgeford at night. The second quest line, the Veiled Threat, involves one of the "Big Folk" who has a grudge against a benevolent hobbit. Finally, the "Runed Collar" quest is the most serious of the three main quest lines here, involving a warg who is inciting the wolves of the Shire. All of these quests are fun, not too long, and not too hard, though they can be a challenge or a bother if you get "stuck" finding an item or location. Aside from the three main quest chains of these two communities, there are, of course, the postal runner and pie quests to be found here. This area is also ok for your wolf hunting and harvest fly deeds.

Budgeford and Frogmorton Quest List
Level Quest Giver Name Location (of Quest Giver) Background Task Reward
10 Odo Mudbottom Mudbottom's High Standards Frogmorton Odo Mudbottom is distraught that his favourite eating-place, The Floating Log, is currently undergoing repairs to its roof. Collect Mushroom Pies (2) Odo Mudbottom is in Frogmorton. Odo refuses to eat at The Floating Log while the repairs on the roof are underway, but he still wants his customary mushroom pies. 1S 70C and Course Flour (6) and Copper Ingot (3) or Southlinch Seed (3)
10 Postman Oddfoot Bundle for Woodhall (requires Inspire Postman Oddfoot) Frogmorton Postman Oddfoot of Frogmorton has asked you to deliver a mail satchel to Woodhall. Collect the Satchel from Postman Oddfoot's Table Avoid Nosey Hobbits Postman Spinner can be found in the centre of Woodhall. Deliver the satchel to Postman Spinner in Woodhall as quickly as possible. Let no nosey hobbits interfere with your duty, and do not let the satchel get wet! (Author's note: This quest is a little more difficult than others, because of the timer. I found that heading northwest from Oddfoot, then cutting south and heading directly to Woodhall, climbing steep slopes, is the best way to do it quickly. Spinner is at 33.3S, 65.7W.) 90C

Myrtle Oddfoot has one of Holly's bad pies, which you should take back to her as quickly as possible.

Search the Yale Height The Yale-height is a far distance south-east of Budgeford, beyond Stock Road, not far north-east of Woodhall. The hill is marked by three pillars atop its pinnacle. Milo Bolger asked you to speak with his wife, Linda, about the strange encounter she had with the wolves in the middle of Budgeford. Linda did not have much more to reveal, other than to ask you to investigate the Yale-height, where she saw a large and evil-looking wolf digging in the soil on the night the wolves ran through Budgeford.

(Author's note: The elf encampment is right next to Woodhall at 33.4S, 66.1W) 90C

10 Wilimar Bolger The Menace Confronted (requires A Few Leaves Short) Budgeford By reading the reassembled journal, Wilimar has learned it was written by a Man named Callum.

Callum has decided to erase the mark by coming to the Shire and killing a descendant of that hobbit. 1. Talk to Callum Callum's campsite is on the far west side of the Frogmoors, west of Budgeford.

(Author's note: Callum can be found at 31.2S, 68.5W) 2. Talk to Wilimar Bolger Wilimar Bolger can be found near his hole on the north-west side of Budgeford.

10 Wilimar Bolger Bandages for Callum (requires A Menace Confronted) Budgeford Reading further in the journal, Wilimar has begun to sympathize with Callum, the Hillman who swore to kill him.

Collect Prickly-bloom leaves (4) Prickly broom grows along the Water, south-east of Budgeford.
