Rushock Bog

Type: Wilderness
Level: 5 - 10
Quests: Starting: 0, Involved: 5
Mobs: 10

The Rushock Bog is tucked away in the north-west region of the Shire, near the passage to Ered Luin and just south of Needlehole. Long has it been a trade passage connecting Needlehole to Waymeet further south; and then to Michel Delving or Hobbitton, depending on the direction. Yet despite all the efforts by hobbits, the bog itself is very dangerous: it is home to irritable gnats, toads, slimes and more! Seemingly harmless for any seasoned adventurer, it can prove to be quite a challenge to unexperienced and innocent hobbits.

Players will encounter the Rushock Bog in very low levels and will get their first taste of a fellowship quest there: Gift from the North. Apart from that great task against the Dourhand Dwarves and their troll, many toads, slimes and gnats will be present to combat against; none but the gnats should prove too troublesome: indeed they follow for great lengths and attack in overwhelming swarms! It is certainly advisable to deal with the irritable menace as soon as can be. Lastly, many resource nodes are to be found here; be sure to have your tracking skills activated!
