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.
