I agree with Kitasi here. I don't think our quests are all *that* easy. I
started doing them at around level 27 and I can assure you that I didn't
find most of them trivial. My set wasn't complete until about 34th. Sure,
some pieces are easier than others, but even if you're simply looting quest
items from other people's kills, it's still pretty risky. The Dark Bone
bracelet from the basement of Unrest, the Basalt Carapace from well inside
Lower Guk, the Gypsy Lute from the heart of Castle Mistmoore, the Icy
Greaves from the King Room in Permafrost, these are not easy things to get
for a lower level bard even if you're scavanging other's kills.
