Lvl 20 Armor Quests

neofit · 11-23-2004, 02:10 AM

Hi.

I just became a Paladin. Apparently there are quests to get some pieces of heavy armor and I am looking forward to doing them all. But I'd be surprised if one could fully equip in Heavy Armor + new 1-Hander and Shield all through questing. Can someone please tell me what pieces of armor I won't be able to quest for so I buy them (or at least some) at an NPC merchant please? Thanks.

Not sure about what isn't available through Ian, but I can tell you that the first 3 quests, he gives you gloves, bracers and boots.

Khael- · 11-23-2004, 04:02 AM

Through Ian Cathlan you'll get gauntlets, bracers, boots, shoulders, leggings, breastplate. No helm apparently. I have finished up to and including shoulders, so can't confirm further than that first-hand.I'm still using a storebought 1hs and shield, have yet to find a good quest for either.

MadGam · 11-23-2004, 07:50 AM

What is the armor comparable too? Cant find any stats on the armor itself.

Darki · 11-23-2004, 07:55 AM

You can see the stats for the gauntlets, bracers, boots, and arms on my profile page.

Hamfis · 11-23-2004, 09:16 AM

Actually the stats that show up when I click on your armor, or search for the Hearth Forged armor, are wrong. Here is what I have:1st Quest:Hearth Forged Gauntlets+2 agi, +5 wis, +11 Heatlh, +13 Power, +84 vs disease, +67 vs heatAC: 68, 92 @ level 25Skill: Heavy ArmorRequired: 95Mastery: 125Slot: Hands2st Quest:Hearth Forged Bracers+5 int, +2 str, +13 Heatlh, +12 Power, +67 vs divine, +84 vs poisonAC: 102, 143 @ level 26Skill: Heavy ArmorRequired: 100Mastery: 130Slot: Forearms3st Quest:Hearth Forged Boots+3 sta, +5 agi, +11 Heatlh, +16 Power, +84 vs magic, +67 vs mentalAC: 68, 99 @ level 27Skill: Heavy ArmorRequired: 105Mastery: 135Slot: Feet4st Quest:Hearth Forged Spaulders+2 sta, +6 wis, +13 Heatlh, +16 Power, +84 vs cold, +67 vs heatAC: 103 @ level 28Skill: Heavy ArmorRequired: 110Mastery: 140Slot: ShouldersBTW, at level 21 I cannot wear the Spaulders. They require 110 in HA, which won't happen untill 22. I have part V, and would assume that it takes level 23 to wear it.

Asa · 11-23-2004, 09:56 AM

Is the graphic on these of vanguard or is it just regular plate? (they're both 'heavy' armour, I believe.) I haven't noticed a huge difference in stats between the two, but I prefer the look of vanguard.

mutantco · 11-24-2004, 08:54 AM

So where is this Ian dude?

Darki · 11-24-2004, 11:49 AM

Qeynos Harbor, outside the Harbor Cache.

MadGam · 11-25-2004, 08:47 PM

You would think for pally quested armor there would be more Wis bonus on them. Are the graphics like the vanguard ? I also prefer the look of vanguard but **ZOMG** is it expensive.

WraithWalk · 11-28-2004, 06:08 AM

I find myself wanting to continue wearing my Vanguard Steel armor rather than this new quest armor as it looks sooo much better ( looks like what you imagine a Paladin would really wear), but the stats on the quest armor is just too much to be ignored...... /sigh

I agree. I love my hearth forged armor and it's stats but the look is kind of plain. It has kind of a leather with silver ornataments placed on it, although some times it looks kind of bronzish too. I have completed all 6 quests but I can't wear the breastplate until next level. You can see the bracers, shoulders, legs, boots and gloves by clicking on my name in the signature. 60% more to level and you can see the breastplate hehe.

EDIT: Oops had the frog picture up for my paperdoll shot, hehe. Should be fixed in a few minutes.

Looks just like the carbonite platemail, just a little darker. I bought all carbonite right when hitting 20 so I'd have the best I could, then I'm switching out the pieces as available so that I have the best armor. When I swap the carbonite with the hearth forged the only thing that changes is it looks like it's not quite as polished. it's a little dull. Overall I'd say it's a bronzeish coloered platemail with a chain uncoat. covers up to the upper calf/ then the chestplate, couple bands around the upper arms and heavy plate gloves. anywhere that's not covered by the armor has silver chainmail showing.

BoomJa · 11-29-2004, 09:57 PM

Thanks to Kaleb of Unrest server and a few others I now have the complete quests, rewards, etc. in the Paladin Guide. I would appreciate it if the higher level Paladins (I'm only 23) could take a minute or three and fire me off some other worthwhile quests.Thanks!

Cryt · 11-30-2004, 01:13 AM

I just dinged 20 on Saturday night. Whew! I pushed pretty hard to get to Pally (almost entirely soloing), and now I am kind of burned out. So I will be casually playing around with my other characters for a few days. Quite frankly, there was a "brass ring" incentive to get to 20 (steed, vanguard armor, title), but not so much to go further for me at the moment.

Anyways, I had enough change in the seat cushions to go to Q. Harbor and purchase a steel vanguard chestpiece, helmet, shoulder pauldrons, and pants. In the coming days, I will be picking up the accompanying gauntlets and boots (wearing iron brigandine versions of both right now).

Quite frankly, I really like the look of the steel vanguard, and think I will eschew the quested armor pieces for now (despite their nice stats). It doesn't help matters that the Sabertooth tormentor portion of the first armor mission looks to require a group (and I am a soloer for the most part). Maybe after my short little break, I will reindle the fire in my belly for this armor.

Nothing wrong with that, the armor will be even at around level 27-30 anyway. Also, just about all of the quest parts require a group, although a few portions of each step could be done solo.

This quest is for any class that can wear heavy armor (paladin, guardian, cleric, etc.)

Azur · 11-30-2004, 11:02 AM

I've finished all six parts and the armor is nice, but at 22, I can't wear the last 2 pieces.

You have to be 23 for the leggings and 24 for the breastplate.
