Gearing for new players

[Vexin]

I'm a new player on p1999 blue however played eq for around 5 years starting around the time PoP came out. I made a bard 2 weeks ago and got it to 52 with swarming however I am currently in leather with no stats have a full suit of bronze but strength is to low to wear it. I have 2k plat to my name. I was just wondering what would be the fastest way to get some basic gear. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks
