Here's my advice as a new character:
1) Buy a Nathsar Greatsword. Excellent 2hander up to 20 since it's quick and close to the damage cap pre-20. Can probably find one for 100-200p or for free, given how many of them are floating out there.
2) Buy a full set of large banded. Often people will make this for you for free, but typically a full set is 70-100 pp.
3) Buy 5ac 55hp rings (usually 400-500pp for the pair)
After that, you have a ton of choices available and will have experienced enough to make your own choices toward your progression. But i'd say these are the biggest things you need up front. You'll probably get people throwing cool gear at you, as much stuff is floating around the server at this point
