IMHO...
Make Jboots your number one priority as soon as your are viable to camp it in SoRo. Yes, you will see the asshat farmers, but the AC only spawns in 5 places there. Sooner or later you will get it. (Every attempt is a one-in-five chance it will spawn atop of you.)
I made it my priority asap on my main, and I never, ever regretted it. It has saved me from dying more than I can remember, and is a HUGE time-saver for travelling.
One night after running back from HG farming, I was blowing through SoRo at like 7pm gametime, and me and a level 17 were the only ones in the zone. I thought, "Screw it, I'm just gonna wait the 20 min or so and just see."
Sure enough, not one other person entered the zone, and at 9 game time, AC popped, I ran and killed it and there it was. Now I have J-Boots and an AC ring in a wrist slot, which is cool, as I had a cloth piece previously. And since I am a caster, the +5 INT and a little armor class helps.
I agree with you completely, the farmers ruin it for people that should legitamtly be able to go after it, but it is what it is, and diligence will always eventually pay off.
Just hang in there.
I feel for you, Brother!

This is
exactly the right approach, not just for AC camp, but for EQ in general. This game is filled with hard/rare things that take time to get, and because they're RNG-based it can feel like you're never going to get them. But if you just keep trying, eventually you will.
Of course, the real solution to all this is to pick the correct class in the first place: Shaman, Druid, Ranger or (if you can tolerate carpal tunnel) Bard
