The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Retrieve Dravin's bow.
1 of 7: Go to Merryfair Farm and ask Dravin Llanith what happened to his bow to get this objective.
2 of 7: Go to Riften and enter its Ratway area. Getting through it to the Ragged Flagon is your first goal, and that's covered in the second Thieves Guild quest. If you haven't joined the guild yet, you might as well do it now (though you don't have to).
3 of 7: Look to the right of the Ragged Flagon's bar counter for a short passage that leads to a door. Use it to enter the Ratway Warrens.
4 of 7: Go along the upper walkway until you reach a doorway with a tripwire strung across it. Stand as far back as you can and activate the tripwire, then move past the swinging maces and kill the nearby skeevers.
5 of 7: Go through a door, then move on until you encounter a couple of hostile vagrants and a lowlife. Finish them off, then make this objective active (if you haven't yet) so you can follow the quest arrow to a nearby chest.
6 of 7: Pick the lock on the chest, then get Dravin's bow from it and go back the way you came to leave the Ratway.
7 of 7: Return to Merryfair Farm and tell Dravin you found his bow. He'll give you a few gems as a reward.
