This is a bit late, but I wanted to thank everyone for all the offers of help I got. I completed my entire Sol Ro armor set (except the weapon and the shield, which I didn't want, anyway) a few days ago.
MAJOR props go out to the following people (in no particular order):
Laurellin
Deliverator
Andain
Brutillus
Jewce
Jackie
Xael
Kimmie
Graz (spelling? you were the troll shaman that helped me with Gull)
Hueylewis
I could not have done it without you folks. While we might not have made any progress (particularly on Kerra Isle and with ports to Toxx...), the time you dedicated towards helping a stranger out with a quest that soaked up your time for no gain at all speaks volumes about your character, and I'm not referring to your EQ one. Thank you all.
To the rest of you that said the quest was worthless, neener neener. I have a matching set (

I would rather have spent the time and plat on this quest for a distinguishable set of gear than simply have purchased some crafted stuff that looks like everyone else. I want to thank the naysayers, too, though. Without them I might not have had the "I'll show them" attitude that was motivated me to stick with it an continue spending my coin on platinum bars as soon as I had enough for it. My reward is being able to write this paragraph (and the armor, obviously).

I'm finally not encumbered anymore, and running at normal speed feels wonderful. Thank you, P99.
