HALF-ELF CULTURAL ARMOR
Cultural armor quests were introduced with the Dragons of Norrath expansion.
Each race, including those who previously did not have cultural armor (like Half Elves), now have quests (tasks) for such armor. The Depths of Darkhollow expansion added to this quest (Seals), followed by a patch that also added even more to this (Charms). In 2007, the recipes were altered and the item names were changed. On top of that, the quests were revamped as well. Later in 2007, the recipes were completely revamped.
The individual quests for the symbol and seals books are linked below, on separate pages (to avoid clutter and confusion). The first book (outlined below), is the only book you need to make the armor. The rest of the series is to make the augmentations and charms.
While I generally outline the Half Elf version below, these quests are all very similar for each culture.
The Book tasks/quests are actually a series of tasks/quests (they will appear in your task window).
The quests were meant to be taken in order, but it appears they can be done out of order and/or even simultaneously, but not until you get the first book (racial armor book). It seems that the only limitation is your current character level (you may not be able to obtain subsequent quests until you attain a certain level).
These quests can play very well into getting your tradeskills to very high levels, but they can also be very expensive and/or time consuming.

ANCESTRAL HALF ELVEN ARMOR (1st Cultural Book)
(Includes making of the patterns, molds, swatches, bricks, sheet metal, chain armor, plate armor and leather armor.)
.
1) WESTERN PLAINS OF KARANA: Time to hunt and fish for the items you need.
The majority of MOB's in this zone are Level 1 to Level 30.
You need to loot or fish up the following:
.
- Lion Tail (No Drop, Weight 0.2); Follow the river until you see what looks like plowed fields (known as the Miller Farm). Lions often traverse these fields.
- Fire Beetle Carapace (Weight 0.2); Fire Beetles can be found in the same area as the Lions (this is the hardest one to get, as the beetles seem in short supply).
- Golden Bandit Tooth (Weight 0.2); Keep running down the river and you should soon come upon a Bandit camp.
- Zombie Skin (Weight 0.1); Even further down the river and you will find the undead just past the Pyramid.
.
.
2) NORTH QEYNOS: You need to find Artisan Vor Westrider (Level 70).
He is located just inside the city gates at the first section of buildings (on the wall, as you walk into this area).
NOTE: This task can also be obtained from Nala Goldenthorn (Level 70) in Greater Faydark (Kelethin).
NOTE: It appears you can do this quest at any level.
Hail him and follow along, or just give him the Lion Tail, Fire Beetle Carapace, Zombie Skin and the Golden Bandit Tooth.
He will give you the book called Ancestral Half Elven Armor (No Drop, Weight 0.5).
NOTE: This is the only book you will need to make the various Half Elf Cultural Armors. This is the book that allows you to make both the Tailoring Patterns and the Smithing Molds for Half Elf armor. (The remaining books are for Augmentations and Charms.)
NOTE: This book will "wear out" (disappear) after about seven (7) uses.
To get another one, simply do this turn in (task) again.
