So long as you can find the sword there should be no problem with the quest.
For the armor I suggest the Ebony stuff, but I am not sure as to which is better, but it is probably Ebony (I don't use heavy armor).
P.S. The only differances for sexes with armor is the model for some of them. But don't worry, it changes to the male version if you equip it.
Alright thanks, and good it changes to the male version because it would look a bit /.
