Lotor's Castle - Archery Quest
Archery - Lotor's Castle, Verthpool, Hothbra & Jeel
In Lotor's Castle, find the weapon shop. Once there, speak to Klaresh. Welcome him to Krythan, and ask about Parian. Then, ask him to tell you about Archery, and finally say you would like to become an archer. He will send you to find Giltroy, one of the finest bowcrafters on Krythan. To find Giltroy, make your way to Vrethpool. Once there, go around so you're outside the east wall of the city. There is a secret wall leading to Giltroy's room here. Giltroy is not a nice person. If you ask him to make a bow right away, he won't be happy about it. Ask him why he's so mean. Ask him about his motherland, then ask him to tell you more. Tell him how much you dislike greed, and then you can ask him to make you a bow without getting thrown out on your ears. Of course, greed-hating Giltroy isn't going make it a free ride. You need to get twelve planks. When you return with the planks, giltroy isn't done yet. Now, the bow just needs a blue gem. Buy one from the provisioner for 90gp, or kill ghosts or other monsters that drop them. Drop the gem on him, and you get 500 exp pool. Of course, Giltroy isn't satisfied. He yells at you some more, and sends you to the north forest to get the blue silk thread of the northern blue silkworm.
To get this, head up to Varg. Once there, speak to Lyndsay, and ask for some blue string. You will get the string and 500 exp pool.
Return to Giltroy for the last time, and drop the string on him. Of course, after all that, he's too weak to string the bow, so you get the string back, and he gives you the Unstrung Giltroy Bow, along with 500 more exp pool. He tells you about a man in the city by the crypt, the city of joy, but he can't remember the name. Well, if you read the signs by all the towns, you'll know he means Jeel, so head there. Once there, go to the stables, and talk to Sir Robin. Tell him you are looking for somebody to string the bow, and he'll do it for you. For finishing this leg of the quest, you get another 500 exp pool.
Return the bow to Klaresh. Talk to him, and tell him you have his gift. Drop the bow on him, and you'll recieve 6,000 exp towards your long bows skill.
