Netted, woven, mesh armor is a nice progression as you level up.
Weapon-wise... save up bone chips and HQ animal pelts (especially bear which are worth more) to sell to players. Turn spiderling silks and low / medium quality pelts into leather padding (is that still worth anything?!).
Once you have a few dozen pp buy some knuckle dusters or a wu's quivering staff. People will ask for 200, but they'll accept like a quarter of that or less. More of these items drop in a day than there are monks rolled.
Spider silks can be used to make raw silk/cured silk/wu's if you want to level up tailoring. It's good to get tailoring to 26 by turning ruined hides into armor before you attempt to make raw silk.
