Bugged, Suffered Big Loss, Helm of the Stalwart Bulwark

Hello there,

I hate for one of my first posts to be more or less a complaint, but I had no other alternative. I have spent the past roughly 16 days working on making enough AD, and even purchased a great deal of Zen from PWE/Cryptic to help me make the AD quicker. Now that I have gone and spent most of that AD, I'm left with my jaw on the floor, lol. I had saved up and purchased all four pieces of the "Stalwart Bulwark's" set pieces; those being: Helm of the Stalwart Bulwark, Stalwart Bulwark's Armor, Stalwart Bulwark's Gauntlets, and the Stalwart Bulwark's Greaves.

I cannot speak on behalf of each realm/server, but on Neverwinter, the combination listed above could easily (on the way low end, usually higher for sure) reach 1,600,000 AD. I know that this amount of AD is not a lot to some folks here, but to me... it was a fortune (<-- Thus Jaw on Floor -->), and one happily spent until I realized that with all four items equipped, the Helm of the Stalwart Bulwark remains "Greyed Out" and doesn't turn "White", same goes for the 4-Piece Set Bonus, it remains "Grey" and does not go "white".

I have tried taking it off, putting it back on, doing that many times in different orders.
I have tried taking EVERYTHING on my Character off, then applying just the armor.
I have tried selling the Helm to a Merchant and buying it back (I thought this was pretty clever. >_>).
I have tried all of the above followed by a legit log-out, exit, and relaunch/relogin.

None of what I have tried works! I discussed it in Zone Chat at some length wit several others experiencing the same issue. I have submitted a GM ticket but it has been a very long time, so it feels like. I would greatly appreciate if we could get this fixed as soon as possible, or at the very least if I could be given an estimation of when it will be fixed? I have every desire to play Neverwinter, but no desire right now to play my Guardian Fighter, as I feel gimped, broken, and broke! Hah.

Anyway, Thank you all for the read, and hopefully we can get this straightened out. I beg that any others out there please submit tickets as well so that we can better get their attention. And I apologize as I am sure I am not the only one to have posted this bug likely. But, I do not like to post my bug on someone else's thread as there's always an off chance that they are unrelated or not triggered/caused in the same manner.

Thanks again!

    GM Replied to my Ticket in-game, asking that I post it on the Bug Reporting forum (which I had done). I understand actually fixing the problem takes time. But I feel that in the amount of time this GM took to write a response in length both explaining what I needed to do, and trying to sympathize with me, he could have just as easily generated a new, level 60, and working helmet with identical stats to my lvl 49 bugged one, and simply taken the bugged one out of my inventory.

    Something as simple as I mentioned above was doable even as a GM/DM in NwN1 and NwN2. Yes I know this is an entirely different breed, but I would like to guess that the item query works very similar, IE each item is assigned a #(SKU) type deal, and a GM would have access to a CSV with the Item Names, Descriptions, Levels, #SKU, etc.

    Again I am not trying to bust someone's bubble, but I strongly feel like the bug needs to fixed, yes, and I understand that it is being "looked into". But why not correct the issues per player per ticket submitted IG? Could it really take that long to do? Because the response I recieved was 5 paragraphs long, and did not seem uniformed.

    Thanks, and hope to get back in game with this fixed soon.

    I'm experiencing the same problem:

    Chest(LVL42), Gloves (LVL38), and Boots (LVL52) are providing 3/4 Stalwart Bulwark set bonus.

    Helm of the Stalwart Bulwark(LVL60) is only providing 1/4.

    Spent well over a million on the helmet, now I'm utterly broke for a broken set bonus.

    Maybe go back to all the lower level set pieces and adjust them to 60?

    I don't have this problem, but have encountered something similar in other games.

    Have you guys tried to equip the stuff in different orders?

    Please don't stone me;)

    So I finally collect the 4th piece... 2/4 (gauntlets / grieves) and 2/4 (armor / helm).
    Seems like after a certain patch, either you had the set already or you had to start recollecting the "new version" of it (which is just silly, imo).

    Bug Report submitted ingame. Wish I knew this in advance, my bad for not checking first, I guess - lol.

    I had the same issue and the pieces that were not level60 didn't make the set with my other 3 level60 SB pieces (yes I also had bought the helm for like 800kAD back then)... I was tired of no response so I bit the bullet and got myself a new piece, making sure it was level60 as well, et voila! 4/4 piece sets...
