Very first thing should be a cheap weapon, as you can still melee passably for a while. Something like a Brell's Keg Popper you might be able to get surprisingly cheap.
After that I'd suggest the 55hp/5ac rings (fire wedding rings or something?)
Honestly, I think you'll get plenty of AC from netted/woven/mesh if you keep fighting in guk till 20ish. At that stage you'll begin to want to avoid being hit at all.
