Best First Loot?

[Grimmway]

You're level 1, in the newbie area. You have a paper-thin tunic, and a crappy weapon.

You see a level 1 mob with a staff and race to engage.

You somehow win, with multiple increases in Offense, Defense, and your basic weapon.

You go to loot and find:

- A Cracked Staff
- A Backpack

What else is plausible and could make this first loot better?
