Argus Bowman can be found in Ludlow Villiage located in Black Mountains South, loc=47268,45914.

Story:
I don't suppose you're here about the job? Oh, I thought maybe all the money I paid to the criers had paid off. Anyhow, let me tell you about the job I have.

I'm on the verge of making a new type of arrow, lighter, faster, and deadlier than any other arrow made. They only problem is that I can't get anymore of the wood I need. You see, it's magical.

The cutpurses are cutting down the last of the magical trees found around Ludlow. We didn't even know they were magical until a sample was brought in by another adventurer.

I whittled on it for a while and make it into an arrow. I shot is and it went so far, I was, frankly, astonished. I ran towards where I had lost sight of it and finally found it. Normally you can't recover arrows, but this one was perfect. It wasn't bent or cracked or anything!

I guess now you know why I want more of that wood! So, if you go and kill a few of those cutpurses and get me a good solid stack of the wood, I'll reward you. You up for it?

Summary:
Argus Bowman told you about the magical wood he needs to make his new kind of arrow. He thinks the cutpurses around Ludlow may be carrying bundles of the wood. Kill them to collect the wood and return to Argus.

Quest Goal: Collect the magical wood bundles.
(Had to kill over 12 Cutpurses to collect 4 bundles)

Rewards:
14 silver 97 copper
Glossy Black Gem

Smoky Black Gem

Old Quest Dialog:
Argus Bowman says, "Welcome to my shop friend. I don't suppose you're here about the [job], are you?"

Argus Bowman says, "Oh, I thought maybe all the money I paid to the criers had paid off. Anyhow, let me [tell] you about the job I have."

Argus Bowman says, "I am on the verge of making a new type of arrow, lighter, faster and more deadly than any other arrow ever made. The only problem is that I can't get a hold of anymore of the wood I need. You see, it's [magical]."

Argus Bowman says, "The young cutpurses on the south-east hill are cutting down the last of the magical trees that reside around these parts. Ludlow didn't even know they were magical until a [sample] was brought in by another adventurer."

Argus Bowman says, "I whittled on it for a while and made it into an arrow. I shot it and it went so far, I was, frankly, astonished. I ran towards where I had lost sight of it and finally found it. Normally, you can't recover arrows, but this one was [perfect]."

Argus Bowman says, "It wasn't bent or cracked or anything! I guess now you know why I want more of that wood! So, if you go and kill a few of those cutpurses and get me a good solid stack of the wood, I'll reward you. You [up] for it?"

Will you help Argus in his quest to make a new type of arrow? [Level 4]

You have been given the Argus's Arrows quest.

Argus Bowman says, "Great! Now, just kill two of the young cutpurses and bring me back any of the wood they have. Good luck friend."

[Step #1] Search south east of Ludlow on the hill near the villiage for the young cutpurses. Slay them for pieces of the magical wood they might have.
  • Travel to Black Mtns. South: loc=54469,46373,2824 dir=179, approach the crest of the hill carefully as there are cutpurses mixed in with the young cutpurse's. Cutpurse's tend to con yellow to orange to a lvl 4, while young cutpurse's will con blue... both are high agro and will call for help. Pull a young cutpurse down the hill a ways and kill him. A "Bunch of Ludlow Magical Wood" will appear in your inventory upon his death.


  • [Step #2] You do not yet have enough wood for Argus. Slay one more young cutpurse for the wood.
  • Repeat above.


  • [Step #3] Return to Argus with the two pieces of the magical wood. He lives in Ludlow.

    Argus Bowman says, "Welcome back. Did you have any luck?"

    Hand Argus one of the "Bunch of Ludlow Magical Wood."

    Argus Bowman says, "Excellent! Did you get anymore wood?"

    Hand Argus the other "Bunch of Ludlow Magical Wood."

    Argus Bowman says, "Excellent! This will do nicely. Now wait, I have a [reward] for you somewhere around here."

    Argus Bowman says, "Ah yes. For the brave adventurer, I have this jewel I got in trade one time. I have never had a use for it, so I think you'll find it more useful than I. Good luck my friend. I'll be sure to let you know when my arrows are available."
