Just started here 2 weeks ago as an Iksar monk as well, coincidentally. For the new lizards, FoB offers amazing tailoring opportunities. The spiderling crypt mentioned already will get your skill to 21 asap, and then at level 6 or 7 you can mass slaughter bonecrawlers in the pit for silks.
Heady kiolas are trivial at low 40ish brewing, and is easy to get to in an hour or 2. Maybe 3 or 4 plat cost total to get there, which is easy to make (hint: decaying skeletons carrying shields are your money makers).
From there, make your own cured silk, and then save up for weapons. I've seen people auctioning their Dalnir / CoM spoils frequently in FoB, so you should be good.
Happy hunting!
