Per patch 1.76:
- Reyer's Best Friend - The svartskogsfru camp has been moved closer to Gna Faste.


Reyer can be found in Gna Faste loc=33532,35574,4744 dir=150 Myrkwood Forest

Reyer says, "Hail and well met, traveler. You certainly look like an adventuring sort. May I hire you for a mission? Well, it is actually more of a rescue... I should really fill you in on my misfortune before I try to solicit your services, even though it [pains] me to do so."

Reyer says, "My name is Reyer. I do apologize for being so bold in asking for your assistance, but I am so very [distressed] I just don't know what to do."

Reyer says, "My friend Roely and I were traveling in Myrkwood Forest when some svartskogsfru ambushed us and kidnapped her. It was so awful! There was nothing I could do but stand there helpless and watch as they dragged her [away]."

Reyer says, "I dared not pursue them as I feared for my life, so I ran to fetch help. When I did finally make it back to town I was so distraught that none of the townsfolk could make any sense out of my sobs. They managed to calm me down after awhile, and we set out to search for Roely, but to no avail. We searched all night but failed to find the wicked svartskogsfru who abducted [Roely]."

Reyer says, "Three eves have passed since then, and I have searched relentlessly, but I grow weary. Every attempt in finding my dear friend has been in vain. I refuse to give up the search though as I know she is still alive, and I know that she needs my help. Would you please aid me in my search for Roely? Please, I [implore] you."

Will you help Reyer find Roely? [Level 16]
You have been given the Reyer's Best Friend quest.


Reyer says, "Thank you so much! You will not be sorry, friend. You are providing a noble service to Roely and me as well. I have faith that you will find her and return her [safely]."

Reyer says, "We were traveling near Gna Faste in Myrkwood Forest when the dreadful [kidnapping] occurred."

Reyer says, "You should search the woods near there. I have heard rumors of some svartskogsfru setting up camp in Myrkwood, and my heart tells me it is they who took Roely. Unfortunately, I am at a loss as to where this camp is, but I do know of someone that [might]."

Reyer says, "Sentry Crush guards the tower past Gna Faste and he is in charge of some of the patrols around the forest. He has eyes and ears in many places. Ask him about svartskogsfru, as he may know where their camp is. If he tells you where it is, please travel to the camp immediately to try to [find] Roely."

Reyer says, "You will need to be careful, as the svartskogsfru are vicious; fortunately, there were only three present when they stole away with Roely. You should go alone when [hunting] for the camp."

Reyer says, "Roely is mistrustful by nature, and I am sure that this incident has traumatized her. Take my [cloak]."
You receive a Reyer's Hooded Cloak from Reyer!

Reyer says, "Be sure to have this item on you when you find Roely after defeating the svartskogsfru. Do not lose the cloak. She will know that I sent you by you having this cloak. You will need to bring her back home as soon as you find her as I am sure that she will be disoriented and weak. Please go now as time is running out. I wish you the best on this journey."

[Step #3] Seek out Sentry Crush at the guardtower near Gna Faste. Ask him if he knows of a [svaetskogsfru camp] nearby.
  • Sentry Crush is located at the front of the guardtower near Gna Faste, loc=35989,39969,4734 dir=264 Myrkwood Forest. Target him and type /whisper svaetskogsfru camp.


Sentry Crush says, "I have seen them before. They tried to sneak into Gna Faste the night before, so that they could plunder our wares. Sentry Thuger and I caught the scoundrels right in time though, and they [ran away] to the northwest."

Sentry Crush says, "We chased them down the path to the west all the way to the lake near Askheim. They turned northwest though, and we lost them as they ran a northerly course along the water's edge. Aye, I have a feeling they have a [camp] along that shore."

Sentry Crush says, "You be careful if you plan on heading into the forests of Myrkwood. Dangerous creatures lurk about in our realm in these troubled times. Creatures formidable even to a troll."

[Step #4] Find the svaetskogsfru camp that Sentry Crush spoke about. Head west down the path behind the tower, and turn northwest when you almost reach Askeim. Follow the shore on the northerly course until you find the camp and slay the abductors.
  • svaetskogsfru abductors con'd gray to a lvl 18. Once there kill all 3 svaetskogsfru abductors, upon their death Roely will spawn.
[Step #5] Speak with Roely to get her to follow you back to Reyer. Remember the only way you can earn her trust is by having Reyer's Hooded Cloak. If she goes back to hiding kill the svaetskogsfru abductors again.

You examine Roely. She is friendly.
As the last of her captors are defeated, Roely creeps from out of hiding. Mistrust turning to caution, she looks at you anxiously, waiting for you to take her home to Reyer.

[Step #6] Return to Reyer as quickly as you can with Roely. If she will not follow you it is because you don't have Reyer's Hooded Cloak and she doesn't trust you. Return to Reyer to let him know what happened.

Reyer cries out in delight as he sees Roely approaching. After some brief rejoicing he sends Roely into the hut for some much needed rest.

[Step #7] Speak with Reyer to let him know that Roely is [safe now].

Reyer says, "Thank you so very much! I thought I would never see Roely again. She has been such a faithful companion to me considering I am an amateur Hunter; I could not bear the thought of [losing her]."

[Step #8] Continue speaking with Reyer.

Reyer says, "I was worried about how I would reward you upon your return, but now I know just the perfect thing! I will give you a sturdy pair of boots, and one of the puppies from [Roely's litter]."

[Step #9] Continue speaking with Reyer to receive your reward.

Reyer says, "The puppies are out playing right now, but I will give you a whistle that you can use whenever you want your [puppy] to come to you."

Reyer says, "Thank you again for your service. I wish you well on your journeys with your new little friend."

I saw the svartskogsfru abductors (grey to a level 19) at 24k, 39k Myrkwood Forest zone.

Level 19 was awarded 254,870 experience, 25 silver, Whistle, and the Boots of the Dauntless.

It would have been nice if this quest was relocated to either Gotar or West Svealand zone. A level 16 has no business being a zone with level 25-30 mobs.
Fun

You also lose half of the silver if you have to say [Roely home], after Roely hides.

Healers get Boots of The protector.

As for Ciarin you need the cloak.

ok, Roely followed until maybe 20 paces away from Reyer and it said 'sensing no sign of her rescuers, Roely creeps back into hiding'. I had the cloak, she was following me, and I was quick (skald speed and she totally kept up the whole time).

I spoke to Reyer and he won't talk to me. I tried first submitters suggestion of 'roely home', but nothing. I tried 'safe now" and nothing.

So I went back to kill the svartskogsfru again, but she never shows up. Now i have this bugged quest forever in my journal? jeez Mythic, at least let us clear the list.

Plus apparently the puppy is worthless.

roely doesn't want to follow me hom, and I'm wearing the cloak. Anyone got a solution?
Lost Roely again!

If you run back to Gna too fast Roely will lose sight of you and hide again. Just go to Reyer and say "Roely home" and he will say something like "Now that you've killed the abductors I can find her" and give you the boots and whistle anyway.
