I would buy or camp a large soiled bag for your food/bandages/shurikens (costs about 600-800p) and is a 10 slot 100% wt reduction for small items and only weighs 1 (weight of the actual bag is a serious consideration when considering wt reducing bags IMO). It's basically a tink bag for small stuff. I also put a premium on getting a tink bag but you need 5200 (if bought from merchant in Sol A).

What I did was farm Shiny Brass Idols in HPH and Shrunken Goblin Skull Earrings to buy a few key items I wanted. Idols sell for 600-800p depending who is buying (have seen some paying as high as 1k in EC). Earrings sell fairly reliably for 2k but may not sell immediately. Another way to make some cash is hit up Crystal Caverns and kill Geos. You might need a duo partner but with a shaman you can clear those pretty easy and make some good plat and OK XP.

Other items I might consider would be a Jade Mace for MH and a SoS for OH (DW seems to be better dmg than 2hb in my experience so far). For armor you should be able to hit Dalnir and farm a set of Crescent armor (6 pieces) that is pretty nice (but no drop) and then fill in the missing slots with Wu's since this is 12 piece set (if you don't already have that or better). I think you can solo the mobs you need in Dalnir at 37 but could be dangerous with all the casters..would be safer to go with a duo or trio.

Beyond that you can start filling in pieces of Black Pantherskin armor that goes for 1k-1500 each. As an Iksar you can work on your shackle quest for a pretty nice bracer.

Some other pieces I have picked up are platinum wedding rings for AC/HP (5AC/55HP), Cougar Claw Earring from IC cougars (4AC/3STR/2DEX) and Orc Fang Earring (AC3/STR3/HP15) and Sarnak-Hide Mask (AC6/5STR). Aside from the BPS armor those items are all fairly affordable and/or can be farmed.

I also have an IFS but I have gotten better results with JM/SoS since I been 40. I'm mostly holding onto the IFS for mobs with DS or when I'm super buffed up in a group. If I had it to do over though I would not have bought the IFS and just used my quivering staff until I could afford a tstaff. PB is nice but that 10 weight is pretty annoying.
