My rec?

Save that money for spells - at least 2 spell sets above your current spells. If you're going to spend money on gear, I'd focus on things like those 5/55 rings for survivability. Unlike a lot of gear, they will hold their value over time as you get more druid oriented gear.

Get level 14 before you buy gear.

5/55 rings are useless with SoW + snare, if you're not getting hit then there is no reason to have higher HP's.

At lower end, I personally would say sub level 30, aim for + mana and not + wis as the gear is both cheaper and more effective. at level 15 one wisdom gives you 3 mana. at 30 that doubles to six mana for every wisdom. Even at level 30 a + mana ring like Moonstone Ring, which you can get for 50-75pp, is WAY more useful than a 5/55 ring. Because the HP ring means you can take a few more hits before dieing but the + mana ring means you can kill the mob more easily before it has a chance to hit you.

At level 24 mobs started hitting me for 40-50 damage, so two 5/55 rings mean two more hits before dieing. Or 1 moonstone ring is 1 root or 2 snares which can mean a world of difference.

Don't get me wrong, + hp is good, but don't sacrifice your ability to kill things for the ability to take a hit you still won't survive/gain xp from
