This quest used to be a great lower level adventure, requiring only that you be nimble on your feet and able to handle a group of Banderlings. During The Hall of the Tusker King event, the quest for Lilitha's Bow was updated. Tougher creatures took up residence in the dungeon. Folks used to say this pretty blue bow was worthless! But with its updated stats, it's now even more desirable for the archer in training.

To begin speak to Eldrista the Adventurer in Holtburg at 35.7N, 33.4E.

Eldrista the Adventurer tells you, "No more scrabbling in dungeons for me! If you want some of Lilitha's dirty old arrows, you can go get them yourself!"
Eldrista the Adventurer tells you, "What? You want the story? Well, just west of here is a dungeon called Hunter's Leap. Legend has it that the great hunter Lilitha lived there when she was younger, while she practiced her skills."
Eldrista the Adventurer tells you, "I never met her myself, but I have a lot of respect for someone with that kind of spirit. Anyway, when she moved out, she left behind a lot of the bows and arrows she had made -- substandard work, stuff she wasn't happy with. But it's still better than what most of these so-called archers can make today."
Eldrista the Adventurer tells you, "I made my living for a long time by collecting the arrows she left behind and selling them. But then the banderlings moved out and a new bunch moved in and my Farmer left and ... I just don't think I want to do that anymore."
Eldrista the Adventurer tells you, "But ... if you find one of her old bows, bring it to me and I'll see what I can do for a reward."

To get to Hunter's Leap Dungeon (35.7N x 32.6E) run NE from Glendon Wood, or hop through the Hilltop Portal from Fort Tethana, which will place you nearby. Note: the Level 8+ restriction has been removed. Inside you'll find Humans -- Brigands (L18), Highwaymen (L21), Cutthroats (L26) and Assassins (L44); plus a few Undead -- Liches (L21) and a Lich Lord (L44).

Map: Hunter's Leap

The trick to this dungeon is to keep jumping! Go straight at the entrance and make your first jump onto a catwalk area. When you can go no further, make another jump, then a third. 

At this point you'll be at a 4 way intersection. Take the left path until you reach another intersection then take the middle path. Follow this around until you come to a ledge. Directly across from you, you'll see a ramp on the floor below leading up to a doorway on the other side. To reach the ramp, you'll have to jump off the ledge to continue.

At the top of the ramp, make a left and you'll see another very steep ramp, this time heading down. At the bottom of this ramp is another leading up, but don't take it. Instead, explore the rooms behind the ramp. You'll first see a room with 3 chests. In the room beyond that, Lilitha's Bow spawn right on the floor next to a Revitalizing Fountain. Alas, her 5 Arrows can no longer be found. There's no timer on the bow so you can pick up more than one.

If you miss your initial jumps and find yourself landing below, you can do some damage to several creatures. In addition, you'll find a ramp leading up. This passage takes you to a ledge across from a gated room. If you feel brave, you can take a running jump to ledge outside this room, open the door, and kill the Lich and Lich Lord inside. Beyond them is another locked door (Resistance 122). Spell components, including the occasional pyreal scarab, used to spawn on the floor! Now, however, you'll find a low level loot chest.

When you have your Bow, return to Eldrista the Adventurer for a reward!

Note: Lilitha's Arrows can no longer be purchased at the weaponsmith located at 35.7N, 33.4E.
