I turned in 8 goblin bracers at lvl 23, and I made about a blue bubble worth of experience. Not too bad. Replacing bronze plate with Faydark ringmail was almost worthwhile; When I replaced my small bronze greaves and bracer with Faydark ringmail pants and bracer, I lost about 8 AC and gained +6 Charisma. Not too bad for a bard. It's also a nice green color, if you're going for that Green Arrow look.
