See Ebon Strongbear, a warrior guildmaster among the Steel Warriors in South Qeynos.

You say, 'Hail, Ebon Strongbear'

Ebon Strongbear says 'Welcome. I am the champion of the Steel Warriors. There are none who can challenge me. I guide this brotherhood of Steel Warriors. From Qeynos to the trade city of Freeport, the ways of the Steel Warriors are taught. I welcome all [young Steel Warriors].'

You say, 'I am a young steel warrior'

Ebon Strongbear says 'Then listen well to the words of the trainers of this arena. Learn to aid our friends such as the Knights of Thunder, the Priests of Life, the rangers and druids of Surefall Glade, the monks of the Silent Fist Clan and always support the Qeynos Guards for many of our brothers have entered their ranks. Oh yes.. You can also trust the bards of this city, after all, they do perform at all of our major events. If you are a [new recruit] I have some tasks for you to complete.'

You say, 'I am a new recruit'

Ebon Strongbear says 'I am always pleased to see new blood ready to serve the Steel Warriors. All new recruits are asked to go through training that I personally oversee. These training exercises will test both your mind body and spirit because they are not easily completed. If you are [ready to begin] I will explain to you how the tests work and present you with your Steel Warriors Assembly Kit.'

You say, 'I am ready to begin'

Ebon Strongbear says 'Here is your Steel Warriors Assembly Kit. In this kit you will combine numerous [magical items] that can be infused in certain quantities to create an armor material. These armor materials can then be placed in a forge along with the correct mold to fashion a piece of Battlemasters Platemail Armor.'

You say, 'What magical items?'

Ebon Strongbear says 'The items you will need for your armor materials will be collected throughout the Qeynos area. You will find items that you need by hunting and by talking to local merchants. Once you are ready to begin collecting the items for an armor material you must simply tell me what piece you [want] to craft. I can provide you with the recipes and armor molds for Battlemasters Platemail [Helms], [Bracers], [Armguards], [Boots], [Greaves], [Gauntlets] and [Breastplates].'

You say, 'I want to craft breastplates'

Ebon Strongbear says 'To create your breastplate material you will need to combine 5 Bricks of Crude Iron, 1 Thick Grizzly Bear Skin, 1 Woven Spider Silk, 1 Burned Out Lightstone, 1 Matted Lion Pelt and 1 Golden Bandit Tooth in your assembly kit. Once you have created the proper material take it to a forge along with this mold to fashion your very own Breastplate of the Battlemaster. Once you have completed your breastplate and finished your armor please return to me for I have an [important mission] that I can only trust one of my finest warriors such as yourself with.'

You say 'What important mission?'

Ebon Strongbear says 'I have heard word that the corrupt guards are up to it again and this time one has gone too far. Guard Beris has stolen my sisters coinpurse by claiming it was due for city tax. This is not true because my family is held in high regard here and we always pay our taxes promptly. This was simply a ploy to steal money and I do not take kindly to that. I must ask that you retrieve my sisters coinpurse from Beris, he can usually be found in the hills fishing on his off-duty time. Bring me whatever you can from him along with 3 perfect gnoll skins and I will reward you with a finely refined blade for your trouble.'

Kill Guard Beris in the Qeynos Hills and loot a Studded Coin Purse from his corpse. You'll also need 3x "Perfect Gnoll Skin" (random drop from gnolls in Qeynos Hills and Blackburrow). Turn in all four items:

Ebon Strongbear says, 'I knew he would still have it, such an unintelligent one Beris is. As I promised I have crafted you a blade for your trouble. I hope you will promptly stain it with the blood of the gnolls. You have done well _____, good luck to you.'

Your faction standing with Steel Warriors got better.
Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got better.
Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards got worse.
Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia got worse.
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth got better.

You receive "Warsword of the Battlemaster".

Ok everyone knows, or most people know that the final task for the rogues in halas gives that hard to find faction hit with them when you do the final task for the barbarian rogue only weapon. I was wondering does this quest give plus steel warriors faction hit when you turn in the 3 skins and coin purse or is the only faction the one you get from killing the guard which has no steel warrior faction hit in it.
Quest Components

Just thought I'd comment since a few people have mentioned here that such and such component can be bought at such and such merchant. The perfect gnoll skins for this quest can be bought at merchants in Qeynos primarily because someone sold them there. Hell, I sell them there all the time, usually to the leather merchant just past the Bard guild hall in SQ. They aren't however, at least not in the case of this item, a regularly stocked item that you can expect to see at the same merchant everytime. They do however drop from various gnolls in Blackburrow fairly frequently, usually off the higher lvl gnolls (don't expect one off a gnoll pup for example), or can be bought in BB off other players that don't really know what they're used for pretty cheaply. As a side note, the elusive regular Blackburrow Gnoll Skin used for Rogue Burning Rapier quest MUCH tougher to get your hands on. Anyway, hope that clears up a little of the confusion perhaps...

Guard Beris conned light blue might win to me at 22 season warrior I killed him fine. he was hitting for 20-28 damage sometimes not bad....he only was able to take 1/2 bub off me before he turned and walked. I killed him looted the studded coinpurse and then bought the perfect gnoll skins from merchant in qeynos and turned into ebon strongbear and recieved the warsword. gave me a majik lore no drop of 29 delay and 7 damage. not too shabby.

Guard Beris is dark Blue to my lvl 19 warrior. I killed him last night, his hits took between 25-33 a pop. I killed him with only 1/2 a life bubble gone. I think these newb armores are great.
I completed the steel warriors armor quest in Freeport at around Lvl 10. I've had the steel warriors armor on since then and when I saw this I descided to head to qeynos and try it out. I have the Helmet and a Bracer so far. Nice strength affect for me. My st is now 110. The Fp armor seems to be Agi and Dex armor while the qeynos stuff seems to be St and HP gear.
