Volume 2 Book 1

Apelred got a hunters quest to find the route to Echad Dunnan in Eregion at level 46. So he took the long horse ride from Rivendell and talked to Tinuviel who said he needed to complete 2 deeds before the route can be given. However one of the deeds can only be completed at level 50. Curses were uttered! But then Apelred remembered some advice from Gavin that Volume 2 Book 1 can be completed at a lower level. So he talked to the dwarf at the gates and after about 45 mins of running about feeding dwarfs and killing creban and wolves he is the proud owner of a couple of very nice 26 dps weapons. Warning - if you do the same do not take the last quest as it will invalidate loads of quests in Eregion that are good for leveling up 48-51.
