A quest to get armor? As a newbie? What the hell has EQ Live become?!

Have fun paladining in leather jammy jams until you're level 20 if you're just starting out.

they left these quests in on the Progression servers even

my warrior on Progression started during Velious era. i didn't even bother getting Crafted armor, because the newbie armor was better than Crafted. :|

For what its worth, the newbie armor and weapon quests were really fun and a nice addition to the game. The stats don't jive with classic at all though.

For example, I think my level 60 shaman is pretty nicely geared, and I'd use at least 2 of the newbie Halas armor pieces over what I'm currently wearing if they were in game.
