If you want some banded armor (on Green) PM me and I'll login and craft you some. The cost to craft it is approximately 5 gold per AC (not counting costs incurred in raising blacksmithing skill). I'm broke, but I can quickly gain the necessary funds to cover a set if I happen across a particularly generous NPC. So, you don't have to worry about that.
There are several people (I believe Green has two threads) that offer free banded armor to new players. As a response to the comment that they "sat in EC waiting for handouts" I can say that the vast majority of the items I've given away have been to random people I happened upon as I wandered about Norrath. There are numerous low level "traders" hanging around the EC tunnel. If you don't run up with something attacking you, or run up and ask for help or a buff or something, most players will assume you're just another "tunnel mule".
This offer does not apply solely to the OP. Anyone (on Green) that sends me a PM is welcome to inquire. I guess I should stop being lazy and work on Blue Mcoy's blacksmithing skill as well so I can also offer it there, although his ability to travel about Norrath is limited (compared to on Green) so it will take me a bit longer to produce the appropriate sizes.
Additionally, since it's been a while, I'd like to restate that the Department of Fun is pleased to offer free resurrections on both Blue (96%) and Green (90%). Just send me a PM, and I'll log in and get you taken care of.
