Gear goals for a (Green) Cleric

[Lunar_Havoc]

Started playing again for the first time since Green's launch and got my first character past level 5 since 2003. Been having a blast so far (level 9 now) and will probably be sticking around for a while but could use some input on what are realistic gear goals for a leveling (dwarf) cleric?

I've managed to do some bartering with bone chips & HQ pelt money to get a wraith bone hammer as suggested in EC chat and I'm looking for more gear to seek out in that sort of dirt-cheap-but-effective range. I have a partial set of small banded and a couple of other WIS items that were cheap/being given away but still lots of empty slots.

On a similar note, how much suffering am I in for if I go down the cultural armor crafting route? The dwarf plate sounds badass.
