Welcome you're gonna have fun!
for a halfling druid here is a good starting strat!:
1. Kill wolfs, wolfs &
wolfs! so many wolfs! collect the skins! All the skins, dont sell them!
2. Find the leather working trade crafter, she is in a hut to the right if you are leaving rivervaile heading to misty, make rawhide armor for yourself, make it and sell it to merchants for money when you get extra to raise skill!
3. With the plat you make from this the first thing you buy is a Scimitar! you can get it from a merchant, its like 7 plat! this will be the best DPS until you are ready for a real magical weapon that you obtain from adventuring!
4. Next buy the best shield (from a merchant!) that you can, its a small shield, red with squares and not round shaped i forget the name/sze but yeah its cheep like 2 plat for a halfy!
5. by level 5 with this strat, you can get full rawhide scimitar and shield!
I call this my 5 in 5 full inventory and spells strategy
