I killed Bears exclusively for 3 levels and got 200pp in bear pelts.

ZERO hq pelts

I haven't gotten any bear pelts, but I did get two HQ wolf, HQ cat and shadowed which all sold to give me about 10pp, combined with my loot from newbie zone skeletons I've got...

10pp 12gp 107sp and 309sp

gear currently is

cloth veil
cloth choker
2x cloth wristbands
cloth pants
cloth gloves
short sleeves
newb tunic

2x splintering clubs

1 stack of 20x bone chips and assorted trash
1x belt pouch

I have trouble with yellows, about a 50/50 shot on killing one. Is there anything I can do about my gear to help improve this?

Visit the bank and change up that copper and silver - your weight must be around 30 :-)

Lose the Splintering Clubs. At 6 weight each, they make up the majority of your 14 weight limit, so your AC will be taking a plummet. Get a single Cracked Staff instead, better ratio than your bare hands up until level 10. Usually find them on a merchant near the newbie yards for just over a plat. That way both 1HB and H2H will skill up instead of just H2H.

Shame you didn't start in Qeynos. You could be picking up netted gear in the Aqueducts from the Frogloks, and starting on Gnoll Scouts for their fangs. Netted gloves are a must for when you want to start smacking wisps.

You need a magic item to take on wisps right? Perhaps I can find a cheap one at the tunnels. The money I'm getting from silks/chips/pelts isn't too bad

up to 17pp total

Cheapest/best magic weapon is a Mod rod from a high level Mage. Main problem is it being no rent, so you'll have to duel someone before logging so it stays on your corpse. Can't think of a cheap magic 1HB off the top of my head; my Enamelled Black Mace was 200pp and will be better than fists up until level 30, after which your fists become magic anyway.

Is killing wisps all that important in the first place? The orc 1-2 should be able to accomodate me once I hit 5 or 6 till 9-10 or so right? From there I should be able to move on to dervishes in WC, or I could do lavastorm.

Killing wisps is XP + decent cash. About 10P per GLS.

The weight penalty is pretty much negligible under level 14 or so, see:
