Minotaur axe is a decent newbie weapon (not magic). If you can't find a player selling one then settle for a regular vendor bought 'axe'. It's close enough to the best ratio vendor weapons but is also super cheap (3pp?). If you need a magic weapon combine weapons are expensive but do have a good sellback value (except the great staff; do not buy!). If you are doing tailoring the tailor made whip isn't awful. If you don't want to spend the Orc taskmaster drops a whip with a passable vanilla ratio.
On p1999 it used to be 100 at 20 through 50 then 210 at 50 (hitting the magical 201 at 57). At some point the cap got smoothed out to be closer to 200ish at 40-50 (still with 57 as the point for 201 iirc) and 210 at 60...
I have no idea if these changes were changes that happened in classic or just tweaks within p99 to refine the bw system to be closer to classic.
You'll definitely be getting at least 100 skill from 20-50 which is 25hp/bandage, which assuming no interrupts is pretty damn close to fungi level healing.
