Default Lowbie Warrior

I just recently started on P99 and I've managed to save up around 350pp.

Is there anything worth while I can grab around that to make my aggro gaining not so much of a pain? I'm only using some Bronze weapons I found so, grouping with a bunch of twinked characters is getting a bit rough.

Honestly, there isn't anything that will let you out aggro twinked characters. You could try some Obsidian Shards which start to proc at level 16, but unless you get some lucky procs in the first couple of hits you're not going to be tanking.

A warrior is the hardest class to play as your first character here because they are 100% gear dependent. You can make it work, but it will require farming green cons to make enough to keep your gear semi-acceptable.

You should be able to get a Sword of Skyfire and a Green Jade Broadsword for 350pp if you bargain. Then work on getting a set of crafted armor and 5ac/55hp rings. At 37 you'll want to upgrade to 2x Short Sword of the Ykesha which will help a lot in the aggro department. By 46+ you can start raiding hate and upgrade your crafted armor. At some point you will be able to maintain aggro as well as any warrior, but until then you're going to have to be content to act more as a dps. Fortunately, most people are not expecting lower level warriors to be able to hold aggro all the time.

Splitpaw stun whips are dirt cheap (in fact i got a few in bank) and start to proc at 25. Stun is always a good way to get aggro. And its a form of damage mitigation. We once had an untwinked warrior in paw with 2 whips and he did a lot of stuns each fight.
Downside is, they are not doing a lot of damage.

Stuns are you most valuable procs. Two Gnoll Hide Lariats like Pyrion said and youll be fine. Forget the part that you're not doing much damage. It doesnt matter, seriously. All people want you for is to tank. Those Whips give more aggro than anything else that procs at that level range. (If you havent figured it out yet: the procs are what gets your hate built up the quickest)
