Lonely Giant's Quest

It's nice to know how to cook delicious bannocks for any player who doesn't have 'create food' spell. Bannocks will fill you for the whole day (same as lembas wafer), but it will cost almost nothing for you to make them. To gain bannock's recipe you must find the lonely giant and solve his quest.

Location: I know five places where giant repops in The Shire: one room N from Michael Delving fountain; E from Green Dragon in Hobbiton; N from marketplace in Dwaling; in Rushey; at “slight depression” (up from the fox hole). I heard also rumours that he pops at NW from Wittforrows and in Hills of Scary. If you can't find the giant - ask any mage to locate him ('locate life' spell). He doesn't always load.

Quest: One more “find and bring”. You must find a LOT of herbs and other things and bring them to him. He frequently asks for:

HONEYCOMB           EGG                 APPLE               SACK OF FLOUR
STRAWBERRIES        BLUEBERRIES         BLACKBERRIES        BLACKCURRANT
CINNAMON            VANILLA BEAN        CARDAMOM            JUNIPER BERRIES
RED ROSE            WHITE ROSE          WATER LILY          HONEYSUCKLE
FOXGLOVE            FOXTAIL             TARRAGON            THYME
ROSEMARY            GOOSEGRASS          CLOVER              CLOVES
SAGE                ATHELAS             MARJORAM            FIGWORT
GINSENG             COMFREY

Try to find all these things, but if you can't find such rare herbs as foxtail, ginseng, and comfrey, don't worry. Maybe he won't ask you for it. Do not crush the plants: sometimes he asks for leaves/flowers, sometimes for plant itself.

When you find the giant, comfort him. Nod after he asks you if you want to help him, and he will start following you. Give him honeycomb, listen carefully what he wants and give him herbs. You have a very short time to solve his quest - 40-48 MUME hours, so all herbs must already be in your backpack - except things that are always available in GH herbalist shop (CINNAMON, CLOVES, VANILLA). You can run to GH with giant, but he can become moveless if you have nice link and spam fast - in such case leave him in some safe place (just flee from him), and return with herbs. After giving him all that he wants, ride him and he takes you to his house near Michel Delving and be happy listening to him.

Btw, this quest is as level-dependant as others - so if you find him at level 1-5, he will teach you how to cook bannocks just for the honeycomb! Legends can be asked for ginseng, comfrey and foxtail - each of these herbs load just in ONE place on Arda, so almost impossible to find them without knowing where they pop… And also small hint: all components for bannocks can be found either in/around elven village on the road to GH (eggs - in the hawk's nest), or in Bree - honey and flour in bakery, eggs in bazaar.

Reward: Baker herblore, 1000 exp for each herb.
