Good/Decent Sword + Armor

Hey, I just registered at the forums and I just got Guild Wars not too long ago, but what I really wanna know is how can I get a good sword and armor? Where can I buy a good sword/armor? Im currently level 12 I believe - Warrior/Monk and I'm not sure what skills to use for both, and my sword currently does 12-19 damage and I have 10 swordsmanship, and using the Gladiators set for armor

that sounds good to me, i also just got the gladiators armor except for the leggings, didnt' have enough raw material, i would think in lion's arch you can get better armor or sword from what i heard, i personally havn't been there yet just got to yaks bane. Also you could get swords from drops or quests. hope that helps, i just started also

You can buy a max damage firey dragon sword for around 2k in lions arch.
