Low level Paladin armor

[Susano]

Just started on the server with a buddy and made a dwarf paladin which I promptly moved to freeport since my buddy rolled dark elf. Now I'm kind of in a bad place because all the armor that drops doesn't fit me.

I've gotten together a little plat, but curious if there's anything better I should be looking for other than bronze. It's gotta be on the cheap since I just started, but I don't want to regret spending my wad on bronze when something else would be similarly priced and better.

Any ideas?
