The Misty Mountains: Goblin Town (49-50)

Warning - Incomplete

Goblin Town offers several quests and deeds. Many quests are turned in at Gloin's camp and Rivendell and the nearest milestone to Goblin Town is at Hrimburg. I suggest binding your milestone to one of these three locations to make life easier!

VIPs can swift travel between the locations and all players can use the stable route between Gloin's Camp to Rivendell

Preparation

Speak to Elrond (in his study in the Last Homely House) to accept [48] A Missing Scout and to Bilbo (in The Hall of Fire) to accept [48] Passage to Darkness.

Take a ride to Gloin's Camp and turn in Dwalin's Concern (which you picked up doing Book 7) and accept [48] Goblins at the Gate

You should already have Down,Down to Goblin Town from previous question in the Misty Mountains (if you missed it the chain starts with Against The Pack from Nogmeldir at Vindurhal)

First Visit (Goblin Town Tunnels)

Ride north from Hrimburg to The Mountain's Throat (21.3,6.0) and enter The Goblin Town Tunnels ("you have discovered the Main Entrance" for Goblins at the Gate)

Whilst in Goblin Town ensure you kill 12 Goblins for Goblins at the Gate

Proceed carefully and pull the goblins to you to avoid being mobbed.
