Iksar Survival in classic zones quite honestly is easy, barely anything see's invis in classic, can use bankers even if they are KoS (around corners like freeport), Monks can use any merchant in the game with sneak *provided its in a safe spot and other stuff wont attack them*, And there are several zones with gypsies in classic who don't care that you are an anthropomorphic lizard for your vendor needs. Kunark may have Cabalis so its easier to go there and get your spells but you can always ask other players to pick up spells for you if you feel you cant get to the merchant or the merchant wont sell to you in Classic.

As a Shaman - SoW @9, Invis @ 29 can see u thru most of Classic EQ
As a Necromancer - Invis @ 8 , Feign death @ 16
As a Monk - Sneak @ 8 (Forces con indiff from behind) and Feign death @ 17
As a ShadowKnight - Both Invis and Feign death @ 30
As a Warrior - God speed and good luck, you'll need it. (Make friends have other people bank and vendor for you - maybe get non-kos to 1town like freeport for ease of use)

So in order of ease for Iksar being all KOS and what not id say Monk is easiest - Simply put sneak is a wildly underestimated ability - Cheating faction for quests, and vendors and banks makes the whole being KoS thing almost completely trivial - at low levels not having invis can be annoying (High level gaurds hit hard!) so may need to ask for invis, but at high levels on a 60 monk you could quite frankly not even care about being KoS just runt thru down, feign death, sneak and use the merchants you want and go on about your business.

Next would probably be Necromancer - early invis and feign death, then Shaman a later Invis than necromancer but 1 level earlier than SK, but SoW more than makes up for this, being able to run from an accidental guard aggro or something will save your scales maybe once or twice. Then comes SK which will be easier than necromancer once you finally get invis and FD cause you will be slightly tankier if a guard does happen to punch you. And finally Iksar warrior.... well just make a lot of friends and you might want to get on the good side of 1 city for ease of use for vendors and bankers
