Medium banded armor can be obtained just for the cost of the materials (you buy them) and then during server prime time, politely ask in North Freeport for someone to do the combine for a tip (odds are they won't want it if you're a new player). Tons of players use the North freeport bank and many of them wanted the Coldain Prayer Shawl and took smithing to do this and can make banded. They'll just click the button for you with the forge right there outside of the bank.
City of Mist is a constantly camped instance and the Springwood Club 9/25 +5 Wis 1h blunt drops often. Again, during server prime time if you have some nerve and can get an Invis from Field of Bone, you can jam in and score one very cheaply (50-100pp max as someone just wants to unload it as it's Lore).
Karnor's has Jarsath armor drops which a Barbarian can wear. Again, if you have the nerve to head in during prime time, getting a full set is possible if you're willing to invest in some Invs vs Undead potions / Cloudy potions and know the zone. If you don't know the zone well, run a Brell worshiping small rogue in and scout it out. I suggest a brell worshiping small rogue alt as it will see use later in the Hole if you're bothering to make an alt rogue scout at all.
You get a nice free shield from your epic quest series so just hold out for that. The 55 HP fire opal rings are sex. Get them. Loramin caught the other highlights.
