    Is the Wedding available year round or just at Midsummer festival?

    My computer is suffering some sort of misfortune with the graphics card, and I have had to purchase a new one. I won't be able to access the game for another two weeks at least. Am I going to miss the wedding, or can I do it anytime?

    This isn't a "100% know" answer, but the wedding is part of a new chapter in the Epic Book storyline, so it should be here to stay. The festival quests however (the repeatable quests in the new zone) are only here during midsummer festival time. At least that would be logical.
    There's some good in this world, and it is worth fighting for.

    I believe you can do the Wedding anytime since the main part is part of Volume 5 book 1 epic quest, the Festival quest however won't be that ends on July 20th. I was kinda wondering the same if the Midsummer version of Minas Tirith will be open year round cause of the epic.

    That's the plan as I understand it! I definitely need it to be available regardless of the season.

    The Epic Book The Great Wedding will remain available after the Midsummer Festival is over. The Festival part will be a recurring yearly event. Players will be able to access the Epic Book after the festival is ended.

    It would be a nice place for player run events in Midsummer version of MT, a few years ago our band Dulcet Tones did special event at the Blue theater once playing lots of music.

    I really hope so! I have never been able to go to any concerts in the Blue Theater before, and it would be nice to be able to use such a pretty place for events that everyone can attend

    If you close out the epic chapter that occurs AFTER the wedding -- in the banquet hall -- do those daily quests from banquet guests go away until next year's festival? The chapter text says that talking to him will end the banquet (and give you a class trait point, yay).

    I just was able to finish one of the dailies, none other showed up so I finished the epic to see if that might be required. Haven't seen anything afterwards either. I saw a deed for it so I hope the other quests show up.

    I did 1 of the quests in there yesterday, and did NOT close Chapter 8.

    Today none of the other quests in the "Feast of Fellowship" deed turn up either. Maybe it's a Sunday/Thursday reset thing?

    Still curious if they EVER show up if you close Chapter 8.

    There should be no relation between Chapter 8 and the Festival-related quests in Merethrond. I only say to speak to Merethien to 'end' the banquet so you can feel comfortable poking around and taking your time before you start the instance, but it's safe to go back inside even once you've finished the last chapter.

    Cool, thanks.
    I was worried that if I "conclude the wedding-feast" that all of the tables would be empty when I return, and no where to pick up the remaining banquet-related deed quests.

    A Long-Awaited Banquet, A Celebration Without End is repeatable daily during Midsummer (unlocked permanently after you finish the Wedding Ceremony in the Epic), and that gives access to all of the Feast of Fellowship quests. You just have to talk to the Chamberlain in Merethrond to start the quest again and then the quests will be available from the members of the Fellowship + Faramir. If that's not the case each day, that's a bug. Those quests are meant to be infinitely repeatable despite involving major characters and are on a daily reset.

    To follow-up on early questions, A Long-Awaited Banquet, A Celebration Without End is ONLY available during Midsummer, but Minas Tirith (Midsummer) remains accessible at all times.

    Thank you again for the clarification, SSG + MoL. I blew right by the Chamberlain this 2nd time.
    Glad that MT-Mid is always available now.
