Walkthrough & Notes

Walkthrough Talk to Argirion north-east of the Brandywine Bridge. Head north up the Brandywine River, opening Waterlogged Crates and picking up Kegs of Cram along any of the banks as you go. These are added to your wallet under Festivals and Events, as Bottles of Ale (1-4 from each crate) and Kegs of Cram. Lower-level characters should only do this near the quest starting point, or further south, and then swim up the middle of the river. Alternatively you can use stablemasters, and go from there to Captain Aranhir (closest stablemaster is High King's Crossing, but Dwaling or Oatbarton can also work). The Barandalf area has level 32-33 mobs with up to 1300-1400 morale, so approach swimming from the river if that is too high level for you. Talk to Captain Aranhir at his ship that is just before the river bends west in Evendim. [14.6S, 61.7W] Swim/walk/run/map back south, collecting more crates and casks if needed (you need 10 Kegs of Cram and 25 Bottles of Ale in total picked up to your wallet). Talk to Argirion to hand in the quest, then to Mindambeth to trade the missing rum and cram for piratey headgear. Notes Extra rum and cram can be traded for extra piratey headgear (eyepatch / hat / hat with eyepatch). Rare spawns of Waterlogged Lockers give piratey headgear with higher level requirements and better stats. For further details, see "The Tale of the Shipwrecked Mariners".

Rewards
None Barter kegs of cram and bottles of ale with Mindambeth for 3 pirate-style cosmetic items.

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. 'Ah! You have come from Argirion? He and Mindambeth are well? This 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. '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.'
