Walkthrough
Head north straight out of Quarrel Falls and then follow the road slightly to the northeast down into a valley. Follow this to its end and you will find Alari Doubleblade. You can then jump back to Quarrel Falls via the map. Walk out the entrance and talk to the scout you find near there. You can either follow him, though he runs off quickly, aggros monsters and dies easily, or you can map to Bloodstone Fen, which is much easier as the White Mantle are just outside it. Either way you will find them just outside Bloodstone Fen. Kill them all and take the armor they drop to Gareth. Note that it might be possible that not all the White Mantle will drop armor. If this happens, run back to Bloodstone Fen and return to kill them again for more pieces. After this just map back to Quarrel Falls and talk to Gareth.
