If you're looking to jump right into grouping, you may consider heading over to greater faydark and binding there. Crushbone has the screaming mace quest which you should be able to complete through regular grouping there anyway. Scattered items you'll gather in the process of doing that quest (shiny brass shield, bracer of battle, dwarven ringmail tunic) should be of use to you as well.
In the meantime you'll meet a lot of people while you group in crushbone, always a good thing for a new player. I still have a few people on my friendlist that I talk to and group with regularly from back on my first character in crushbone.
