Starting Gear for SK & Monk

[Smyd]

Hi all,

I'm returning from a long break and decided to start from Scratch as an SK...
I have a few items and pp (about 2-3k i think) to give him but nothing substantial.

I would like some advice on what items to look for, and purchase, as a leveling SK that is best price for what you get(considering my budget).
I know cash is scarce, but a friend of mine is starting a monk and i would like to help him out with some weps at least, so if you want to put your 2 cents in for that as well, it would be nice [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
