At level 29, I was using Bronze and Rawhide armor, a Polished Granite Tomahawk that I looted in Highpass myself, and two Dervish Cutthroat Rings.

As maskedmelon pointed out, your primary job as a Paladin is to ensure that the mob your group has currently engaged is hitting you and only you. To do this, you do not need any special tricks or items. In fact, all you need to do your job as a Paladin effectively is the level 9 spell Flash of Light, which is purchasable for 6 silver from your local Hall of Truth.

This line of thinking that "I need this item!" is not justified by your character's actual needs. The truth is that unless you have a boatload of money to drop on a haste item or Fungi Tunic, no one item at this point will result in any noticeable difference in your character. Furthermore, you can earn your own keep and loot most of your character's upgrades along the way on your path to level 60. See this thread for suggestions.
you make me want to roll a pally and RP my way through the noble quests of my most noblest of noble bro's

Ill pilgramage an epic journey on foot in the name of Marr to build armor worthy of him that I might dawn as I march towards the smote ruined peeks of fire and Ice laying claim to the lands cursed under the dark wings of the dragon lords

yea that kinda sounds fun.
