INTRO: The Assault on Archet

Introduction Quest

The Blackwolds are marching upon Archet, and you must help stop them.



1) Talk to Jon. Ensure that you have completed any other quest you wanted to finish, and then select "Travel Now".

2) You’ll travel to an instance, where you must "save Archet from the Blackwolds". Go through the area, killing any Blackwolds you find. Some of them will be engaged in battle with Chetwood Spinners (spiders). You can disrupt their fight, but the spiders will turn on you, so be wary.

3) You will then come upon a cinematic sequence, where you watch Calder Cob wreaking destruction. Once you get close enough, Calder and a Prisoner attack you. Kill them.

4) Talk to Jailor Ned Pruner, who is wounded on the ground.

5) Find and speak to Amdir (25s, 48.7w). He will tell you to get some water from a nearby well to douse the flames.

6) Go to the well and double-click to get a bucket full of water (25s, 48.6w), then carry the water to the flames where you will put out the fire.

7) Follow Amdir further into town, and kill Blackwolds until the head baddie, Eogan attacks you. Kill Eogan.

8) Talk to a heavily distraught Mundo Sackville-Baggins (25s, 48.9w).

9) Talk to Celandine Brandybuck, standing right next to Mundo. She despairs of what has been lost, but is assured that things will okay once the flames die down. Select "Finish Now".

10) Talk to Celandine once again, and she asks you to take her back to the Shire. Select "Travel Now".

11) After you travel, you’ll be in the Shire. Speak with Mundo (31.8s, 76.8w). Mundo is displeased with his experience, and how you escorted him back to the Shire.

12) After you speak with him and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, a Map Home (to allow you to bind and recall to different milestones), and the Characteristic: Novice. You have completed the Introductory quest series!
