The quest for armor crafters is essentially identical to the quest for tailors, with two notable exceptions. The text is slightly different, and the items you are required to make are different. For the AC quest, you are required to make Improved Mithril Gloves, and Improved Mithril Boots, and like the tailor quest, the items must be of at least 96% quality.
To simplify things, I make a macro to handle all the text responses. My macro looks like this.
/macro quest /s proceed errands do them armor thank you gift smarter want
This macro will handle all the necessary responses to npc text, with the result that you receive a Well-Made Armorsmith's Knife, which gives a bonus of 8% to the chance for a skill-up and has 19 charges, just like the one received for the tailor quest. Like the tailor quest, you can also receive items which increase the quality of the item made, or decrease the time required for making an item. I do not use those two items, so if you need them, you will have to discover the appropriate text for yourself.
To begin the quest, go to Camelot and find Loraine Elgen, Armorsmiths Master, who is located at 25497, 17824. This is the building in the southeast corner of the courtyard around Camelot Castle. Take the stairs to the left inside the building, go up to the second floor, and you will find Loraine. Use the macro (or choose "proceed", "errands", "do them", and accept the Alb - 800 AC Quest.
Next, go out the North Gate of Camelot City, and proceed Northwest to the town of Humberton. Go up to the castle, and up to the second floor. Out on the parapet you will find Livyn. Walk up to her and use the macro (or choose "armor").
Livyn will tell you the items to make and who to give them to. First you are sent to the town of Ludlow, due east from Humberton, to find Malphaeus. He is in the Inn, on the second floor, in the last room on the left in the hallway. Give him the Improved Mithril Gloves. Just drop them on him and leave, it is not necessary to speak or respond to him.
Next you must go to Cotswold Village, at the East Gate of Camelot. I found it quickest to return to the North Gate of Camelot and go through the city to the East Gate, rather than traveling around the city on the outside. Go to the Inn there and find Dwight Edwards, on the first floor in the back room by the fireplace. Drop the Improved Mithril Boots on him and leave. Once again it is not necessary to speak to him.
Return to Humberton Castle and go see Livyn again. Use the macro (or say "thank you"). She will instruct you to return to Camelot to see Loraine Elgin again.
Return to Loraine Elgin in Camelot. Use the macro (or choose "gift", "smarter", "want") to receive the Well Made Armorsmith's Knife.
If you wish to repeat the quest again, use the macro again at this time and repeat the steps above.
Note that the minimum level for this quest is 10, not five. That is also true of the tailor version of the quest. Allakhazam has the minimum level for the quest listed incorrectly. You must also have completed each of the previous tradeskill quests for skill levels 500, 600, and 700 before you will be offered the 800 quest.
Each repetition of the quest takes approximately 20 minutes if you have the Improved Mithril Gloves and Boots made in advance.
