Don't solo if you can avoid it... if you want to solo in the "SK" style, just make a necro and do it harder/faster/better/stronger/etc - it'll really bite later on in the 50s.
CoS is essential, not just "a good idea".
jboots as well when you can buy them. Questing them on the SK is going to take longer particularly in OOT because you won't be killing placeholders as quick as most classes do.
Some of the dark forge armor is good to have and they're often found in the tunnel...look up the pieces on the wiki.
