Quest for ArmorFollow

I was wondering. I already have armor that is yellow to me, and I am level 26. I am a minstrel so I can charm mobs to help me out. Now, since I am extremely poor (Sorta, basically this is my only char). I was wondering if I need to save up my money and buy new armor every say 10 levels..? Or perhaps I could just do quests for armor and spend my money on my trade. I really hate the idea of spending money on armor because it would cost me every last copper I have just to buy a single chest piece for my level for myself =S So is there enough quests for armor to keep me fine with armor? That way I could just spend all my money on alchemy. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you're on alb-merlin contact me in game at clericsrus or stevenmeadowsinf and I'll hook ya up with some decent older gear, jewels, etc. The above advice is pretty good. Until you can get some cash, your options are limited so just make the best of things.

Also, ASK YOUR GUILD!!!!! That's what they are there for, to help you level your toon and pass along items they can no longer use. I'm always giving away jewels, armor, weapons, etc. when asked, lol then stuff just seems to pile up. I always have too much crap and am looking to give stuff away. Your guild or alliance should be able to help you...just ask nicely, and don't ask every 10 mins or ppl will get pissed off lol.
