First you need some money, so goto Stormwind and type "ned 1g plz...." over
and over again until you get some... Just kidding!
Like the other poster said DPS is going to be an important factor. I
wouldn't recommend buying weapons from a vendor in Stormwind, for one they
are just normal weapons (white colour) and two they are expensive. Now
would be a good time to visit Ironforge, and specifically the Auction House.
Goto Stormwind, go east to Old town then north to Dwarven District. You
should see a tunnel. Walk into it and get on the tram, then at the other
end walk off and into another tunnel. You should now be in Ironforge. Now
ask a guard and click the Auction house, and you should see where it is, go
through the Great Forge and down a small tunnel. When you see tons of
people you are now at an area where there is a bank to store items and an
Auction house, right click on the auctioneer and choose weapons and look for
whatever you want. Alot of the items listed start at about level 15, but
green items can even start at level 5.
Virtually all the items listed will be green, it means if you equip it your
character gains a stat boost. These items are found mostly from killing
things in the game. INT is Intelligence, i.e mana. STR is Strength, how
hard you hit, STA is Stamina, how much health you have...etc.
These should also be cheaper than buying from a vendor and will give a
slightly higher DPS.
You can buy your armour and all sorts from there, only limited by your
money. Take up 2 gathering professions to start with, either
mining/skinning or herbalism/skinning, its a fast way to make money, you put
these into the Auction house and sell them to other players.
What server do you play on?
The other poster mentioned their evil probably because Paladin's aren't the
most well liked class. Alot of immature people tend to play them, and other
races are jealous of their shield that will let you be immune to attacks and
heal yourself!
