Celtic Heroes

I started playing a warrior last night (Vayde lvl 21) and was able to farm enough to get some gear from the gear vendor near the east docks. I was told to farm gear in the catacombs for upgrades but ran into a level 41 farming the boss at the end all night so that was a bust. Is there somewhere else I can buy gear from a vendor (2 hand weapon plus plate armor)? I found the vendor in Castle Crag selling gear but it was 5k a piece and didnt have a weapon. Do I just need to farm farm farm to get that gear or is there something that is inbetween that gear and the gear I have?

It would be sweet if someone is selling gear for my level but I am a little hesitant due to all the scamming I have read about.
