K, I did this on my bard just for a bit of fun, and really it's easy if you know where to get the items. I did this whole quest in EC, so this will make it easy on the newbies. The bricks of crude iron ore drop off orc pawns commonly, with a nice 15 weight (OUCH) thats an extra 60 weight on ya, I hope you have chant of battle by now. The spiderling eyes drop off of...yep you guessed it, SPIDERLINGS, wow that was a brain buster. Pretty common and easy to get. The lion tail I got by running in circles looting every lion I saw, it's no drop, nobody is gonna loot it. A bottle you can find off a merchant at just about any inn that sells water and food and bandages, cheap stuff, only a silver or three. The grizzly bear skin is going to make you mad, it drops off black bears, and not too often at that, just shout that you'll pay 5gp for one, you can get it fairly fast though. Then take all your components and combine them in the box he gives you for a special sheet of metal looking thing. Go to a forge with the mold he gave you and the sheet of metal thingy majigger and BAM...You have fashion the items together to make something new! It requires no smithing skill and is impossible to fail. Remember, this whole quest can be done in EC, make it easy on yourselves, don't go to long lengths for a little newbie armor. I'll shut up now, good luck on getting your new pants! YAAAAAAAAR
