Luckily, you don't desperately need armor as a caster to get stuff done, and druids are excellent at camping things solo, so you will be able to get most of your armor as you level up and exp in the areas where pieces you want would drop.
The easiest piece to get is the Prayer Cloth of Tunare (shoulder slot, +3 wisdom) if you grouped in crushbone at all.

You're also at a good level to do the quest for
http://wiki.project1999.org/index.ph...f_Vanear_Quest which is fun and will last you into your 50's
and could also start doing
http://wiki.project1999.org/index.ph...f_Opolla_Quest (which.. is still awesome at level 60)
Otherwise, if/when you do end up buying gear, aim for the jewelery/crafted pieces first (since they're also barely replaceable) and you can't exactly camp them. Platinum Ruby Veil, Jasper gold earrings, Platinum Jasper rings, and Small wisdom deity.
Otherwise, excellent pieces to camp as you level are:
split paw hide gloves - 2 wis - south karana - get in 20's (usually given away)
crown of leaves - 5wis cap - south karana - can get in your 20's
mammoth Hide Cloak - 4wis cape - permfrost - can get in your 20's
foreman's tunic -3 wis tunic - solusek A - in 20's, need a group most likely
gatorscale legs - 4 wis legs - upper guk - can get at level 30+
and.. more eludes me, those are those the pieces I have fond memories of going after. I'll admit, by the time I made it to my 30's, I had plenty of extra platinum and just started buying the rest of the basics. Be sure to check the wiki page for what you'll want!
