P1999 is not exactly the same as Live, since it's a third-party recreation, not a copy. As a rule most creatures will do more melee damage to you than they did at the same level on Live, at least to 50+, making life tougher for anyone who solos with melee.

If you can't find a weapon from a player for sale, you can always buy a 6/32 Warhammer off a vendor in most starting cities for 5 or 6 plat. That'd still be a significant improvement over a Rusty Morning Star. Beyond getting a better weapon, the first ~8 levels can be pretty tough for all three of the priest-type classes.
