Bestowal

'Ahoy there! I am Argirion, First Mate 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 sail up and down the Baranduin providing much-needed supplies to the Wardens of Annuminas in the North.

'That work, though, was brought to and 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 Annuminas. I am sure it is strewn all along the Brandywine River."

Background

Argirion, First Mate 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.

Objectives

Objective 1
Talk to Aranhir

The Captain of the Gilminuial may be found northward along the Barabduin. The cargo is strewn along the Brandywine River.

Argirion has asked you to seek out the Captain of the Gilminuial and recover as much of the ship's cargo you can.

Objective 2
Collect kegs of cram (0/10)
Collect bottles of ale (0/25)

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 fulfil Argirion's request and collect the cargo.

Objective 3
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 fulfil Argirion's request and collect the cargo.

Notes

All you have to do is head North and follow the Brandywine River, until you reach the captain Aranhir, in Barandalf of Evendim. Along the way, click on the Waterlogged Crate & Keg of Cram, you find these near the waters edge along the Brandywine River, and on both sides of the River. Once you've spoken to him, go back to Argirion to complete this quest.

Once you have completed this quest (which does not actually require or take any of your Ale or Cram) you can barter with Mindambeth. There are three pieces of light armor (costume) available (Eyepatch, Hat, and combined Hat and Eyepatch, and all three are Bind on Acquire), and each costs 25 Ale and 10 Cram so to get all three pieces you need 75 Bottles of Ale and 30 Kegs of Cram.

Each Keg gives you one Keg, but each Crate yields 1-3 Bottles. The barter items are not bound, so gather them all. You can give your extras to alts, guildies or froobs.
