Failed Thurgadin MQ help

[Indecisive]

I'm not really sure where to post this.

I was doing a thurgadin armor MQ for my druid, gearing him up with what little I had over the last few days. I'd gotten four of my pieces already, and while MQ'ing was new to me, I was pretty familiar with it by now. I know I turned into the right NPC, and I know it was the right gems, but I didn't receive anything after. It was the leather legs, and that 12k felt like 12 million to me. I had to sell my CoS, the only thing I've ever had of value above 5k, with just the hope of finding someone who could MQ the legs and bp with that budget.

I feel really numb and just don't know what to do. I don't think the monk that turned in his legs made a mistake, and now I'm worried whoever tries to do a turn-in/MQ next might get screwed up because of my gems.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is there anything I can do at this point?
