Continuing the series of guides for the level 20 armor quests, I now give to
you...the leather armor guide!  As a monk, I happened to have loved the
armor quests.  It's when I got my first gi, and it started my obsession
with needing to have a gi equipped always.  The armor quests leveled me
through my 20s, and the armor lasted me well into my 30s.  It's one of the
few series of quests that I actually wanted to do on my own accord, as there is
nothing more satisfying than completing it, and having a nice set of gear to
show for it.  A downside we found is the bruisers don't get gi's, they get
typical leather armor, which is just a shame.

While the quests are the same, and the rewards are the same basic pieces, the
actual armor stats will vary depending on what class you are.  And the
stats are truly what make this series of quests worthwhile.  You just
cannot get better armor for the cost of nothing!

Qeynos Light Armor

For Qeynos, you will start your leather armor quest in South Qeynos and with
the NPC, Selwyn Oakheart (loc 444, -19, 188).  She has errands that she would like for you to
run for her, and she will reward you for each one that you complete.  These
quests become more difficult as you go, so you might want to bring a few friends
for some portions of it.  You must be level 20 to start this series of
quests.

"Selwyn's Errands - Part I" - Selwyn first asks you to slay
12 Caltorsis clerics, and 4 Sabertooth Runecasters.  The clerics are found
up at the Ruins of Caltorsis (loc -2029, +14, -443), and are level 18 solo
mobs.  They are a little bit more sparse than the other mobs in the area,
but they do spawn regularly.  The Sabertooth runecasters (loc -1321, -15,
+293) are found off the Qeynos Highway, and are in level 17 heroic groups. 
Reward:  Gloves.

"Selwyn's Errands - Part II" - For the second part of this
series, Selwyn sends you to kill 16 hulking stalkers, 20 plaguebringer alcolytes,
and 6 Varsoon apprentices.  The hulking stalkers (loc -1565, -1, -700)
spawn across the river from the Ruins of Caltorsis.  The plaguebringer
alcolytes spawn in the same general area along the waters edge.  You may
have to clear out the groups of Caltorsites for them to spawn.  The Varsoon
apprentices spawn just outside the Ruins of Varsoon in the Thundering
Steppes.  All these mobs can be reasonably solo'd   Reward:  
Forearm piece.

"Selwyn's Errands - Part III" - Selwyn sends you on a
mission to slay 8 feign zombies and 8 sealed strongboxes.  Both of these
are found inside of Stormhold.  The feign zombies (loc +9, -24, -120) are
found near the entrance to the Library and come in level 23 heroic groups. 
The strongboxes (loc -88, -32, -180) spawn inside the Library in a room off of
the main room (find the entrance to the Library on the floor in the area with
the feign zombies).  The strongboxes are level 23 and 24 heroics.  Reward: 
Boots.

"Selwyn's Errands - Part IV" - For this portion of the
quests, you will be heading into the Crypt of Betrayal.  You'll need to
kill 20 deathly scarabs, 10 restless corpses, and 15 forsaken shrillers. 
You'll want to enter the Crypt from the southern most entrance in Vermin's Snye. 
I found the deathly scarabs and the shrillers right up front near the entrance,
in the solo variety.  The restless corpses (loc +120, +7, -99) are a little
further in and spawn in level 22 heroic groups.  Reward:
Shoulder piece.

"Selwyn's Errands - Part V" - Off to the Thundering
Steppes!  Selwyn has you hunting down 8 Dead River knights, 12 Firerock
giants, 12 mighty griffons, and 12 corpse feeders.  The Dead River knights
are found in the Dead River basin (loc +183,
-12, +725) and are both solo and heroic.  The Firerock giants are found on
the ledge above the Dead River basin and are heroic as well as solo.  The
mighty griffons spawn in Thundermist Valley (loc +1130, -2, -67) and are level
25 and 26 heroics.  The corpse feeders (loc +555, -22, +169) spawn in the
basin between the two bridges.  Reward:  Leggings.

"Selwyn's Errands - Part VI"
- Back to the Thundering Steppes for the final part of this quest series! 
You are almost done, yay!  Selwyn asks you to slay for her 8 Deathbone
berserkers, 12 Sabertooth fishermen, 10 rumblers, and lastly, Shadowdash. 
The Deathbone berserkers (loc 130, -22, 753)
are in heroic groups found in the same area that you found the Dead River
knights.  The Sabertooth fisherman (loc +1216, +5, -320) can be found
outside the Sabertooth den.  The earth rumblers (loc 886, -16, 1195) are
located in and around the caves near the southern coast.  Finally, you must
kill the named griffon Shadowdash.  He pops in the griffon fields (loc
1143, -1, 72) when the person with the quest roams through the area, and is a
level 25 ^^^ heroic.  Reward:  Chest piece.

Freeport Light Armor

The Freeport series of light armor quests starts with Vassi Darkscale (loc
-75,-11,-77) found in the Jade Tiger Inn in North Freeport.  He will give
you a series of quests, the following quest will be opened when the previous
quest has been completed.
