  • Speak to Legolas
  • Collect the missing pages of the Book
  • BackgroundThis journal was written by a hunter who seems to have spent much of his time alone somewhere on the western borders of Mirkwood across the Misty Mountains, where few Men live and goblins present a frequent threat. With no allies to rely upon and always outnumbered, he discovered the value of uncertainty and fear as a weapon to keep his pursuers off balance as he strove to survive in that rugged country. Having no-one to talk to, it seems that he choose to create a record of his life and experiences. This journal is badly weathered and torn -- perhaps by the self-same goblins whom the hunter claims to have frequently out-witted -- and several key passages are missing. Another hunter of renown might be able to shed some light on this unusual book. Legolas of Mirkwood is said to be in Eriador on a mission of some import.
    DescriptionThis is a legendary book quest. The quest begins when you read the legendary book of the same name. You must then turn this book in to Legolas in Rivendell. Finally you must collect the pages of the book and examine them.

    Four pages drop in the Misty Mountains and the other four drop in Angmar.

    Shot in the Dark Pages <2008-02-17 09:15:29>
    Brewgolas <Guest>I found quite a few pages in Misty Mtns. They were during Book V, Chapt 5 instance. We were killing lots of dwarves there. If you aren't doing the 'Travel Now' to get there, you can get there via that pass in the center of the map. There are other quests there.


    <2008-02-21 20:38:42>

    Skizzik <Guest>yea i too killed 150-200 wights and didnt get a single page, i just tried the hillman in northeastern angmar in the Bail areas, and i have gotten 1 of the pages after only like 20-30 kills.


    <2008-08-16 23:01:07>
    Erika <Guest>Pages haven't come off the wights in a really long time. 4 pages of every book (regardless of class) come from the misty mountains, 4 pages come from Angmar. Every class has one book that has world drop pages, they can come from any lvl 39 mob anywhere, including Forochel or the Trollshaws. A Shot in the Dark isn't a world-drop page book, however.


    SHot in the dark <2008-11-17 13:42:06>
    Elevewen <Guest>Where have people found pages 19 and 22? THanks....

    A shot int he dark <2008-12-27 23:46:02>
    Steve1111 <Guest>Got a page off a blogmal captain near the siege engines in angmar.


    <2008-12-28 21:49:53>
    Soxan <Guest>4 last pages drops me in Goblin-Town


    <2009-01-04 21:55:47>
    Rudiger <Guest>Got Page 22 off Corcur Hillmen by Helegrod. Follows pattern of bottom 4 in Angmar and top 4 In Misty off Humanoids.


    erika is right <2009-01-23 22:12:22>
    glennerooas erika said above, 4 pages drop in angmar and 4 in the misty mountains. I got the first pages in angmar very quickly when killing gobs, but then stopped even afer hundreds more kills. Went to misty mountains and the first humanoids in encountered (corcur blood-sworn @ 23.4S, 1.5W) dropped the last 4 pages.


    Drops as at Feb 09 <2009-02-03 23:56:14>
    ElTorqiro <Guest>The book I got off the AH. The pages I got the bottom 4 off the hillmen on the stairs of Helegrod (Misty Mountains) very quickly. The top 4 off the Duvardain in Angmar, I just did a couple of laps of Dun Covad and got all 4. Same goes for the other book, Shot in the Dark, which I got at the same time. Different rules apply for Furthest Charge, which is random drops from the world and nowhere near as common.


    Moria <2009-02-21 23:27:57>
    PHGamer <Guest>I just picked up one of these off of a Goblin near Dolvin View in Moria. Possibly a Goblin Overseer.


    Drops Apr 25 2009 <2009-04-25 21:17:01>
    Cazador <Guest>Thanks to ElTorgiro, above. I got page 14 in front of Dun Covad and page 22 at the base of the hill leading to Helegrod (19.6S, 2.5W) today, after working on that for over a year.


    <2009-05-17 16:58:41>
    Belfridge <Guest>Found 2 at Corcur(?) in Misty Moutains near Helegod. Found 1 in Goblin Town. Found one in the camps outside Goblin Town. Found 2 in Morvil in Angmar. Found 2 at the water Goblin huts in Angmar. So I&#039;m think these pages drop from any +39 mobs.


    three of the bottom <2009-06-02 23:47:04>
    Clived <Guest>I got 3 of the bottom four in Donnvar in northern angmar in about a hour. I don&#039;t have any of the top though


    Help for you page seekers <2009-06-04 01:05:29>
    Allesar <Guest>The pages for two of the legendary books drop from the same types of characters. Minimum lvl 39.... I am currently on A shot in the dark. I only need PAGE 16. This book requires the farming of 2 areas. The place where I started was in the misty mountain killing Overland orcs... I did get on page out of Goblin town but you can get from Overlands if you don&#039;t like the area. The other four 5,10,14,16 are in Angmar you get them from 39 plus mobs I killed duvardain enemies for 5,10,14 in a matter of moments. I am guessing the last page you need takes awhile to drop and after some research on the pages have found the best place to get 16 is actually from Ongburz Orcs in East Angmar. May still take a couple days of work, but you&#039;ll probably only have to kill 200-300 enemies (if that) instead of some people running around killing thousands. Note* I find when you collect a few pages they stop dropping legendary stuff all together because the particular characters drop all kinds of legendary stuff for different classes. Once this happens change areas or just come back the next day. Now the other book that drops in the same areas is &quot;The Way of the Hunter&quot;. I have not started this book as I believe it won&#039;t start dropping until I complete A shot in the Dark could be wrong there but I am particular about finishing something before I start something else anyway. Hope it helps and Good Luck


    <2009-07-24 00:50:30>
