This is classic EverQuest, there are no newbie armor quests that reward gear better than the L30 class quests. And as an Iksar Warrior in Kunark, you don't get to wear plate, it itches your scales or something. As Cucumber's said in another thread, "get used to Ranger gear". You'll still have enough AC/HP to tank anything in Kunark, and Velious gear is Iksar wearable, so your AC and regen will push you to the #2 or #1 warrior race, depending on who you ask.
As a young blood:
I'm sure Sakuragi, Cucumbers, Joroz, Hakata or one of the other iksar warriors on this server could offer more detailed advice (pardon misspellings).
