Overhill Quest Guide
By Darkgolem
Overhill is a logging community located north of the Hill and
href="http://lotro.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=473">Hobbiton
in the Shire. Recently however, new problems have arrived to this
peaceful community. Spiders have appeared in the northern
portions of the wood here, and they threaten the wood gathering and
livelihood of the whole place. This quest chain climaxes with
saving the "walking tree", one of the more fun "escort" quests in
LOTRO. Beware the spiders here, they can drop down from above,
which can be quite a surprise for newer adventurers.
A surprising number of other quests are found here, often parts of
other quests which lead one to this area. Of course, the pie
running and postman quests are found here (these are needed for some of
the deeds of the Shire) but additionally, some of the quests in
href="http://lotro.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=470">Tuckborough,
notably Polo Proudfoot's bee quests (a small chain). This area is
a great area to get spider killing deeds done, and to gather

The woods north of Overhill are simply swimming with bears and boars.

for his hives to replace the ones killed by the honey-bears.
Salve Dries
Farmer Proudfoot is guarding his hives in the meadow south-east of
Tuckborough. The wild beehives you are looking for are in a
bear-infested area further south-east past the meadow.
Farmer Proudfoot sent you to Gammer Boffin in Overhill to obtain some
balm to keep off the bees, so you can collect a hive for him. Gammer
Boffin warned you that the salve will not last long, so you will need
to collect the hive as soon as possible and take it to Polo Proudfoot.
( Author's note: This quest is from Overhill, and requires you
run to Tuckboro. Don't delay, the timer on this quest is not very
long. The Beehives are at 34.2S, 69.7W, you can get one on the
edge and run
back without fighting easily enough.)

Find the Spider's Nest
There may be spiders in the Bindbole Wood, north and north-west of
Overhill.
Otho Broadbelt sent you to speak with Robin Smallburrow about the
spiders, but the Hobbiton Shirriff had already received reports about
the creatures in Bindbole Wood. Shirriff Smallburrow has asked you to
kill as many of the spiders as you can, but also to find their nest.
(Author's Note: The spiders nest is found at 26.9S, 71.7W)
Boffin
Cutter (requires Untangled
Webs)
Boffin has prepared an
unpleasant draught from slug-slime that should allow you to pass
through the webs protecting the spider-lair in Bindbole Woods.
past the webs in Lob's Grove
The spider-nest is to the north-west of Overhill town centre, past the
wall and the lumber-yard.
Shirriff Smallburrow sent you to Gammer Boffin in Overhill to obtain
something to dissolve the spider-webs blocking the way to the nest.
Gammer warned you that the mixture dries quickly, so you must hurry.
She also mentioned a nursery story about a walking tree in Bindbole
Wood that might serve as an ally...if it even exists.
(Author's Note: The web to cut is found at 26.2S, 72.5W. Beware
that spiders come
down from above to ambush you sometimes while traveling here.)
2. Find the walking tree
The walking tree, if it exists, probably can be found somewhere in the
spider nest.
You were able to clear the way to the nest using Gammer Boffin's
draught. She also mentioned a nursery story about a walking tree in the
wood that might help to deal with the spiders, though she warned it
might be dangerous to you as well.
(Author's note: The walking tree is at 25.6S, 72.8W)
tree" that Gammer Boffin told you about, and it appears to be entrapped
by the spiders.
Gammer Boffin's draught is almost spent, but there appears to be just
enough left to help weaken the webs binding the tree.
(Author's note: The Tree is actually moderately durable, making this
quest less of an annoyance than other escort quests.)
