Ropemaker's Quest

Location: Lorien at the ropemaker.

Quest: Ask the ropemaker about 'hithlain'. He will talk for a while, then direct you to Cirel the elven navigator (southeast of Caras Galadhon, north of the river). Find a misty plant, which loads in various places by rivers in Lorien and the Anduin Vale, and bring it to Cirel. He will give you a fine elven rope; this rope can be retrieved from the bottom of slopes, but it may only work for whomever did the quest to obtain it.

Note: It is rumoured that if you give the ropemaker the misty plant, he will reward you with a rope only if the plant has “grown big enough.”

Giving the plant to Cirel also works to earn the fine rope, sometimes he only gives 2 golds as a reward though (still more than herbalist).

Reward: Fine elven rope.
