Some solutions and A plot?
If you have the space; and hardly anyone does; you could have kept your classes old gear to turn in.
Alternatly if you have lots of time to kill or were thinking of starting another class. You could use their armor after they level past it. Or create a charater just to do the newbie quests for the armors needed. That would be a big time sink, but in the end isn't that what playing the game is? (^_^)
Or another option with the academies now, ask your lower level accademy members to sell or trade you their older gear. Offer them something they can use or cash somewhere between what an NPC would buy it for and what it costs to buy from the blacksmith.
Sometimes I think quests like this are part of a plot to get more people to buy extra storage. (^_^)
