Finished the last two (lv10) snake quests, but I gotta know...

The Recipe: "Bone Handle" quest requiring level 10 to complete.
Can you point me in the right direction that I can take my level 10
to get bones? I have a stockpile of "small" bones and have yet to
kill anything that drops bones. I dare you to tell me I need 20 more
levels to make bone handles from marauding/elite skeleton drops, that
the lv 10 quest was given out to too low a player.

My lv 27 can still only take 2 hits, half health per hit now which makes
fighting skeletons impossible. Werewolves are still a tight fight for my
best character. I saw Pyrone grinding wolves in caves at lv 30+ if that
is an indication about the difficulty of fighting skeletons.
