The Great Hollow page has a map in its gallery which can greatly help you get to Ash Lake (although I recommend getting the Lordvessel first as getting back UP Great Hollow can be a pain in the ass). Also, if you want to get the items you are looking for in trading, you can easily get them by looking on each of the items' respective page's and taking notes on how to obtain them.
