Armadillo Hides (Commonlands)  

Armorsmith Nipius Malchus in South Freeport needs some help gathering materials. She needs fifteen banded armadillo hides, and will trade you a shield for your services.

These can be found on Banded Armadillos in Commonlands. They are found just outside of the gates. The hides don't drop every kill, so be prepared to kill 30 or more.

After obtaining the materials, return to Armorsmith Nipius Malchus for your reward.
