I'd second this. If you want to explore the game and completely immerse yourself then maybe steer clear of the leveling-part of this guide. But if you're like me and like having a map of where to go and what to do as you level then use it. It's a pretty unique body of work that Ssesserdrix created and should be recognized.
Other than that, then yeah, in terms of gear prioritize:
#1 Circlet of Shadow (not Circlet of Shadow
S)
#2 Jboots
#3 the rest
Also, welcome to an awesome class! Your life in Norrath will be very self-reliant. In my experience the necro is one of the very best solo classes for levelling (at lvl 60 other classes can solo money camps better). Because you get the best mana regen buff in the game, snare, fear, powerful dots, a pet plus a wide range of utility spells like FD in particular, but also 93 % exp rez, intra-zone evacuation and a whole arsenal of undead spells like charm and lull.
Level 34 is nice because you get root for the first time plus a significant upgrade on your mana regen line. But level 49 is absolutely insane. I remember feeling that moving from 48 to 49 was like suddenly getting almost "god-mode" in a shoot 'em up game.
You get Ignite Blood which is a powerful dot, but most importantly you get:
Lich (20 mana per tick regen - for reference Clarity 2 is 11 mana per tick. This is also an upgrade over your previous mana regen which was 8 per tick... it's no joke

Bond of Death which deals a massive 80 dmg per tick as well as healing for 80 and so, while being expensive, mana wise, synergises incredibly well with your lich.
Paralyzing Earth - this will also almost feel like a cheat going from your previous root. PE frankly feels like it never breaks.
