The quest does start in east cabilis. Using the find option will lead you to tradeskill task master Sieeva koen (loc is. 841, neg 431). To start the quest for the book of "ancient iksar armor" you ask "culteral armor patterns". She then will ask for 4 items. they are...
1. Bloodstone ring. (found randomly off low lvl mobs)
2. patch of bloodgil skin (loio off bloodgills)
3. Cats eye agate (can be gotten from low lvl mobs or bought at jc vendor)
4. A scroll (off sarnak adherents in loio.. is no rent no drop)
Once you have gotten all four turn in to Sieeva.
At this point I recommend going to abysmal sea and getting the new books on smithing so you can immediatly start on making armor lvl of your choice. All the molds for expert to grandmaster armors are the same.. so once you have recieved the book "ancient iksar armor" you can begin with the culteral armor itself. (the smithing books are called "the resugrance of history 1-5)
Now comes the fun part
.. To make that armor of yours special and unique comes the symbols. These require a task to earn each book. to trigger the start of the tasks you ask Sieeva "cultural symbol patterns" this will trigger her to ask you which location.
1. lake of ill omen.
2. Dreadlands
3. sebilis
4. thundercreast.
1a. for the lake of ill omen you start off having to kill 20 goblin warriors. (have found the best place for these are near the ruins by windmill)
1b. deliver 4 green goblin skins to sieerva.
1c. explore the entrance of the lake
1d. kill 10 pond sturgeon
1e. collect one pondfish spine
1f. return one pondfish spine to sieeva
Completion of quest yeilds - Journeyman's book of iksar armor
>- Now at this point I went straight to masters because apon completion of doing expert armor piece.. expert trooper wristguard was trivial at 188. (my skill is higher then that was looking more for the post 200 push)
Master's book of iksar armor
This begins at Sieeva as well.
2a Kill 80 frogluk krups ( found the best place for this density wise was chefs area)
2b. Collect 40 wax flowers (not to common but do usually drop in groups of 2)
3b. Return 4 wax flowers to Sieeva
3d. explore the froglick barroom. (this is near chef as well instead of going right to.. chefs camp go left after the empty room that will trigger completion when you open the door)
3e. Kill 5 ilis shaman (i did this down by lower zone out was pretty good kill ratio)
3f. collect one nodding blue lilly
3g. Return one nodding blue lilly to.. Sieeva.
Completion yeilds-Master's book of iksar armor
Misc supplies-
Klok stitch-sells compacted backpack, bottle of ink, book bindings (loc is 126,-24)
War historian kobl-sells Blessed water of cazic-thule (-595,-224)
Smithy Zern-sells compacted backpack, Huge block of clay (-506,18)
Conclusion to date..
Have tried a few of the armor pieces and found they didnt require the special tempers as mentioned in book 4. Its the symbols that use the temper. have a few completed pieces of the journeyman's and expert wrists as an example of trivial lvls..
