This quest [4003] is called ‘Earthguard’s Armor’, for Adventurers levels 10 to 60. Elauyin is the master in charge of this quest. For those new to the Order, their next task is to gather materials with which we will build them a set of armor. While we work with the spirits, protecting and revitalizing the elements that flow through the Forest, you must still be protected from the howling winds and scratching thorns, and so you will journey out into the Forest and gather the following. Delve into the Ant Hill, Rune River, to the Devastation and to the Dark Forest. Battle those of the Malachite Golem, and collect the components for your armor.
