Leighis had it right.
Look for an NPC in the Frontier Gate outpost, right after Ruins of Surmia.
I can't remember his name at the moment, just hold down ALT and look for the NPCs.
You can't buy bags in Ascalon city, as far as I know. Don't freak out if you miss the bags at Frontier Gate, Yak's Bend isn't that far. Just remember to sell the useless weapons you find after every mission. I don't salvage any weapons early- salvage the armors, identify the unidentified rares, sell everything else. Armor is more of a concern, really.
I believe there are vault keepers in every outpost, though I didn't make a point to visit every one and check last BWE. The vault has 20 spots, not 25, and you have to pay a one time fee of 50g per character to access the vault.
