I was curious to know why there aren't any newb armor quests in the starting cities. For example, in the original release there was Sarialiyn Tranquilsong.She was the NPC in Kelethin for bard newb armor quest. I play on Manglar server.
Those were added well after the fact. So on TLPs they unlock when the appropriate time comes [well past their usefulness to most players, but that's the way it is.]
