Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'I am in a dire position, <name>. 'The armoury suffered greatly in the assault on the western half of the city, and now only its walls stand as a reminder that it was ever here. When we still held the western shore, we stored a great deal of weapons within the armoury. Yet now, the Orcs and Trolls roam its ruins and our weapon-stores are exposed. 'I have not been able to get close enough to gather many, but perhaps you can. If you return these weapons to me, I shall be able to hasten my return to the tunnels.' Background Determined to bolster the Rangers' defences, Meldir has travelled to the ancient armoury of Osgiliath to seize what remains before it falls into the hands of the Enemy. Objective 1 Collect barrels of weapons at the ruined armoury (0/8) The ruins of the armoury can be found in southwestern Osgiliath. Meldir has asked you to recover hidden stores of weapons from the ruins of the armoury. Collected barrels of weapons at the ruined armoury (8/8) Objective 2 Talk to Meldir Meldir can be found along the southwestern walls of Osgiliath. You have recovered many weapons, and should now deliver them to Meldir. Meldir: 'Ah, yes, these will do nicely. 'With so many foes surrounding us, we will need a large supply of blades - for even the strongest sword shall eventually wear. 'You have my thanks.'
