I am enormously happy for all the more experienced bards out there! That
exultation is tempered only by my despair at ever seeing any of these quests
thru to completion. At my current rate of progression I should be able to
take on the least of these tasks in about 2 years. I gained 5 levels since
July. Unfortunately there were all the same level.
A question no one asked. Where the heck do you get the Lambent stone you
have to turn in with the two gemstones? At last a use for plat!

*** Bard-only Armor Quest! ***

I hit the temple of Solusk (er whatever) on the test server to check out the
efreet and I heard someone complaining that a pack of bards attacked them.
WOOOOO
There are now two bards in the main temple on the right if you enter from
the front.
Walthin Firewaver - A half elf male in chain holding a horn.
Cryssia Stardreamer - A Female woodelf in Chain holding a lute (wonder if
it's a magic lute....)
Bottom line is that if you give various sundry items(the biggest being the
lute of the gyp princess) to the bards along with lambent gems you make from
normal gems.... you get bard only armor. No clue on how it looks nor how the
stats are.
At bottom is the complete text so you do not have to run a bard over to find
out what's up.
Cheers!

Here is the complete text:
* You say, 'hail Walthin Fireweaver'
* Walthin Fireweaver says 'Good day to you. I am Walthin Fireweaver of the
League of Antonican Bards. My friend Cyrissa and I are here while we deal in
[Lambent stones] with the followers of Solusek Ro. If you are interested,
Cyrissa and I also deal in [Lambent Armor] - the perfect armor for a Bard of
standing. Also, remember to ask me later about a special Bardic Weapon...
* You say, 'What are lambent stones?'
* Walthin Fireweaver says 'Lambent Stones are gemstones of great power. They
are midnight blue in color, and can be found on Hill Giants, Sand Giants and
Griffons. If you want more information on them then you should ask Genni.
* You say, 'who is genni?'
* Walthin Fireweaver judges you amiably -- what would you like your
tombstone to say?
* You say, 'what is lambent armor?'
* Walthin Fireweaver says 'Lambent Armor is custom crafted armor, made
especially for Bards. It is forged by the MeadowGreen brothers and then
Enchanted by the followers of Solusek Ro. If you are interested, I can tell
you about [Lambent Gauntlets], [Lambent Greaves] and [Lambent Boots].
Cyrissa can tell you about other Lambent Armor.
* You say, 'what are lambent gauntlets'
* Walthin Fireweaver says 'Lambent Gauntlets are exceptionally well made
gauntlets. If you are interested, I will give you a pair - but you will have
to bring me the following items that I need for a trade with the followers
of Solusek Ro. I need Shin Gauntlets from a Froglok Shin Knight and Black
Silk Gloves from a Deathly Usher in Castle Mistmoore. You will also need to
talk to Genni about getting me a Lambent Star Ruby. Bring me these items and
you will earn Lambent Gauntlets.
* You say, 'what are lambent greaves?'
* Walthin Fireweaver says 'There are no finer leggings for a Bard then
Lambent Greaves. Collect for me two lesser pair of greaves and I will give
you some. Bring me Icy Greaves from an Elite Goblin Guard in the Caverns of
Permafrost and Shin Greaves from a Shin Ghoul Knight, as well as a Lambent
Fire Opal and I will gift you a pair of Lambent Greaves.
* You say, 'what are lambent boots?'
* Walthin Fireweaver says 'Lambent Boots are the boots of choice for most
Bards. If you can bring me Firewalker Boots from a Solusek Mage and the
middle portion of the Rune of the One Eye from a Cyclops named Froon then I
will give you a pair of Lambent Boots. Oh - I almost forgot - I will need a
Lambent Sapphire as well.
* You say, 'hail Cryssia Stardreamer'
* Cryssia Stardreamer says 'Hail and good day to you. I am Cryissa
Stardreamer of the League of Antonican Bards. My colleague Walthin and I are
here while we deal in [Lambent stones] with the followers of Solusek Ro. If
you are interested, my partner and I also deal in [Lambent Armor] - the
perfect armor for a Bard of note.
* You say, 'what are lambent stones?'

or [Lambent Bracers]. My colleague Walthin can tell you about other Lambent
Armor.
* You say, 'what is lambent helm?'
* Cryssia Stardreamer says 'I can give you a Lambent Helm, but you will need
to fetch me a few items that I need for later trades with the followers of
Solusek Ro. I require an Opoline Helm from a Deepwater Goblin and a Mudwater
Rune from a Lizard Fanatic of Cazic Thule. Finally, you will also need to
see Genni about getting me a Lambent Star Ruby. Bring me these items, and I
will give to you a Lambent Helm.
* You say, 'what is lambent bracer?'
* Cryssia Stardreamer says 'Lambent Bracers are nice armor, and do not have
the same level of complexity that other Lambent Armor possesses. If you can
fetch for me a Dark Boned Bracelet from a Greater Dark Boned Skeleton, a
Griffenne Charm from a Griffenne and a Lambent Fire Opal then I will give
you a Lambent Bracer.
* You say, 'what is lambent vambraces?'
* Cryssia Stardreamer says 'I will give you Lambent Vambraces if you can
acquire the following items for me - Fiery Vambraces from a Solusek Champion

these items for me and I will give you Lambent Vambraces.

the followers of Solusek Ro. Bring me a Basalt Carapace from a Basalt
Gargoyle in the Caverns of Guk and a Gypsy Lute from the Castle of
Mistmoore. You will also need to see Genni about getting me a Lambent Ruby.
Collect these items for me, and I will give you a Lambent Breastplate.
Solusek Ro.

across from the npc that wipes specialization.
* You say, 'hail Genni'
* Genni says 'I am Genni of the temple of Solusek Ro. I serve as custodian
of the [Lambent Stones].
* You say, 'What are lambent stones?'
* Genni says 'Lambent Stones are receptacles of power. Alone they are not
useful, but when combined with other gemstones they can be used for making
magic items. I know of [Star Ruby] Lambent, [Ruby] Lambent, [Sapphire]
Lambent and [Fire Opal] Lambent.

gold. The metal of fire for a gem of fire.
