General advice for Freep questing in the Ettenmoors:
You never know what's going to happen with the keeps, so make sure you visit each place when it's in Freep posession to pick up as many quests as you can. That way you can work on them even if you can't hand them in yet. The quests, although repeatable, work on a timer -- You can't pick a quest up as soon as you hand it in, you have to wait a couple of hours or so, and some quests can't be shared, you have to see the quest giver.

Quest drops do not work in the same way as they do in the rest of Middle-earth. Outside of the Ettens only you will be able to see/pick up your mob drops for quests. In the Ettenmoors you don't even have to have the quests to pick up the items -- an important factor to remember if you can't pick up any quests due to Creep over-population. This has it's draw backs, as if a fellowship kill a mob, the quest item has to be rolled on, so you'll end up having to kill many more NPC's to get what you need for quests.

The aim of questing is to get Tokens of Valour. When you have 10 of these, go back to Glan Vraig and hand them in to Quartermaster Ash, who is standing in a pavillion just behind the milestone circle. He'll swap 10 tokens of Valour for a Key to one of his chests, where you can get rewards for your troubles.

Notes: The best place to farm these badges is in Raids on keeps, or at the various Orc camps dotted through out the Ettenmoors. The one to the South West of TA is a favourite spot of mine. Watch out, some of the mobs are signatures, so don't aggro more than one unless you know you can handle it.

Heft and Haft

Location: The Ettenmoors

Approximate Quest Level: 50 FELLOWSHIP

Initiate: Lieutenant Swithulf, Lumber Camp

Actions: Collect 25 Isendeep Ore, and 10 Grimwood Logs. Isendeep ore can be found in crates in the Isendeep mines, and occasionally on drops from Goblins in Grothum.

Terminate:  Lieutenant Swithulf, Lumber Camp

Rewards:  1 Token of Valour
            110 Silver coins

Selectable Rewards: None

Prerequesite: The Lumber Camp has to be in the posession of the Freeps for you to pick up and hand in this quest.

Notes: This quest is easier to complete if Isendeed is in the posession of the Freeps. The devs have recently put elite master drakes in Isendeep, which makes it just a little tougher, especially because they roam. You can still get the Ore from Goblins in Grothum, but it's much more time consuming, as they don't drop much. Grimwood logs are found either in the big logs you find dotted around the Grimwood woods, or you can kill the elite Trees in Grimwod (with a fellowship), who will drop the logs.
