Head Blacksmith Newyear:
Say, you may not have heard, but there is a new type of armor available ... but only for members of the clan academy. Would you like to have a suit of it? I can make one for you...
Oh, wait, I fear you don't meet the prerequisites. I'm sorry.
(Only level 19 and higher characters who are clan academy members, and who have a sponsor, are permitted to take on the quest.)
