Walkthrough & Notes

Talk to Argirion, located northeast of the Brandywine Bridge, near Buckland. This starts the quest and sets your objective to meet Captain Aranhir in Evendim. Travel to Captain Aranhir at his ship in Evendim, just before the Brandywine River bends west. [14.6S, 61.7W] Fastest route, if you've unlocked Dock-masters, use the one in Buckland to travel to Trader's Wharf in Wildwood, then ride or swim north to Aranhir. Alternatively, use Stable-masters: High King's Crossing (closest), Dwaling, or Oatbarton. Gather Waterlogged Crates and Kegs of Cram along the Brandywine River. These contain Bottles of Ale (1–4 per crate) and Kegs of Cram, added to your wallet under Festivals and Events. You'll need 25 Bottles of Ale and 10 Kegs of Cram total. Tips for Gathering: You can start collecting before meeting Aranhir. If you gather enough items in advance, the objective to collect supplies may auto-complete when you speak to him, saving time and allowing you to return to Argirion immediately. Lower-level characters should avoid the Barandalf area (level 32–33 mobs with ~330–660 morale). Safer method: swim up the middle of the river or gather crates near Argirion and southward. Rare spawns of Waterlogged Lockers may appear and offer better pirate gear. Return to Argirion once you've spoken to Aranhir and gathered the required items. You can continue collecting crates on the way back if needed. Talk to Mindambeth to trade your items for pirate-themed headgear. Options include: eyepatch, hat, or hat with eyepatch. Extra rum and cram can be traded for additional cosmetics. For further details, see "The Tale of the Shipwrecked Mariners".

Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Hoi there! I am Argirion, boatswain aboard the Gilminuial -- or at least I was until we were beset by a great storm! The Gilminuial is a ship belonging to we Rangers that sails up and down the Baranduin providing much-needed supplies to the Wardens of Annúminas in the North. 'That work, though, was brought to an end with the storm. Our ship was grounded, the quartermaster and I were washed overboard, and our cargo lost. I know not if anyone else survived the disaster and would be pleased if you could search northward for the Captain. 'It is also vital that the cargo be recovered, for it was intended to supply the Wardens as they fight the evil that has come to Annúminas. I am sure it is strewn all along the Brandywine.' Background Argirion, boatswain of the Gilminuial, told you how his ship was damaged in a storm and lost all of its cargo. He has asked for your help in locating his captain and reclaiming the lost cargo. NOTE: This quest will be removed from your quest log when the current festival ends. Objective 1 Talk to Aranhir The Captain of the Gilminuial may be found northward along the Baranduin. The cargo is strewn along the Brandywine River. Argirion asked you to seek out the Captain of the Gilminuial and recover as much of the ship's cargo as you can. Argirion: 'I fear the rest of the Gilminuial's crew perished, but I must know for certain. Seek out the Captain, if you can, and recover as much of the cargo as possible.' Aranhir: 'Ah! You have come from Argirion? He and Mindambeth are well? That is good. 'You may return to Argirion and let him know that all survived the wreck and are now repairing the damage. Do as Argirion requested and gather the cargo before you return, however... it is vital for the defence of Annúminas.' Objective 2 Collect kegs of cram (0/10) Collect bottles of ale (0/25) Bring the lost cargo to Argirion Argirion is southward along the Brandywine River. The Captain of the Gilminuial bid you return to Argirion and let him know that the rest of the crew survived. He also asked that you fulfill Argirion's request and collect the cargo. Collected kegs of cram (10/10) Collected bottles of ale (25/25) Argirion: 'It is good to know that my kinsmen did not perish in the storm. 'Thank you as well for recovering this cargo. Bring it to Mindambeth, as well as any more you may find as you journey along the Baranduin. 'As thanks for your efforts, you may choose something from the ship's stores that have survived. Mindambeth will see to your reward.'
