IMO if you're strapped for cash then take a blended approach to the levelling situation. You can xp quite well at most levels and still make significant cash without neutering your pace. Here are some levelling paths you could take a beginner gear player:

1-12: continue to do quests that yield cash like rabid animal quests, early bandit sashes etc...
12-17: bandits in lfay drop bronze. Dervs in nro drop bronze. Willowisps drop lightstones and greater lightstones. If you can find groupage in Highpass can also try and get dark wood shield, shralok pack and DA idol as EC loot.
18-25: Gargoyles in oot, bard diet (various places), Erudin guards, start on mammoths in EF, at 24 or so can start on HHK goblins for ears and FS, inky guards in Nektulos.
26-34: sisters in oot, gnolls in sk or paw (FS, plat and lariats for player trade), SolA for vendor loots and smithing material (again another player trade).
35-39: giant fort in FM, can start on giants in RM.
39-50: spectres and giants (RM).

And so on and so on. While it's true you need cash to advance, spells will not be a huge factor (as long as you've made SOME effort to get cash) and your requirements for better gear (only of you're non melee really) are probably overstated in most cases. If you were to look at the prices of items vs. the stats they give you would probably find an exponential rather than linear correlation between beginner, intermediate and high end droppable gear.

Most of all have fun and don't worry too much about the loot. As was stated earlier, it comes much faster at higher levels and rightfully so - the cost of the highest level gear is just that much more.

also, you can start hunting centaurs in SK which drop large banded armor that you can sell to the centaur/aviak vendors

You will need to collect several ingredients for this recipe for success. Here's some homemade tips:

1. Kiola nuts. Buy several of them if you plan to run the Stein multiple times. I still have a nut banked at L56.
2. After you turn in Erud's Tonic for the book, buy another Kiss of Innoruuk to bank for the future.
3. Honeycombs are most easily looted in Kithicor Forest in the day time. Stick to the ranger cabin area and along the north wall. Get out by 8PM though, because that is when the ghoulies rise up.
4. Create a warrior who follows Rodcet Nife starting in Qeynos as a mule to get the Koalindl; dun mess up your own faction if you plan to run the Stein several times. It helps to get level 2 before going fishing. The fish in the middle of the temple pool is the easiest to catch, but if you go for the one along the back wall of the pool, watch our for the temple knights loafing around there.

If you've got a porting buddy, this trip can be made much faster; just be sure to give them a cut! You can rake in lots of cash this way. I currently don't offer a Stein for lower than 350pp. Monopolies are fun when they benefit my class!!
Vermi omg you still play! Also some good money spots low levels are bronze sword Dark Elves in Nek Forest, and 30-40 Highkeep Guards 5-6pp each and first floor Erudite merechant who sells to all race/class/deity.

I used to do this on my rogue until I was told to stop by Amelinda. Turns out, even if you are looting all the bodies with only 15 seconds on each, you can still lag a TMO alt by standing near their train, and that is a suspension worthy activity.

So make sure the bard isn't in a shitty guild.

Also did this on my paladin for a while, then a monk tried to train me with a team of guards and failed his FD and died. Was totally worth the slow camp.

Wait what? I can get suspended for standing next to someone? I'm sorry, I don't care if that someone is a kiting bard, that still makes no sense.

As a cleric, it pains me to say, shm / enc is a better duo [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]( Clr / War work well for some things though if you're donals'in. Can essentially duo ixiblat (slowly, lol) with a donals and well geared warrior. Ragefire too, obviously.
