You can farm a ton of spider silk in Field of Bone, save it and use it to level tailoring and craft yourself and the Necro suits of Raw Silk armor. You can also craft yourself some bags. The trivials for Raw Silk are very low and it doesn't take long to level. Absolutely worth doing, even if you don't want to invest the time to progress further to crafting Cured Silk/Wu's.

Level in FoB 1-10, then hit Kurn's until 20. Great ZEM and enough bone chips for the Necro to hit 60. Then move to the giant fort in WW. You can get forest giant hammers (10/35) for yourself and the Shaman quite easily. Heavy but better ratio than your fists until level 30. The giants drop a lot of vendor trash weapons which will finance your Shaman and Necro spells quite nicely. If you're lucky you might see a Forest Loop or two which vendor for 300pp or so.

Around level 30 hit Dalnir and camp Lumpy Goo for a pair of Fighting Batons (8/20). These will last you quite awhile. Dalnir is kind of a death trap at that level so I wouldn't recommend sticking around long. But it's not too hard to get in and camp Lumpy Goo and then invis out to the exit. If you do stick around, try to get yourself some Crescent Armor. All the pieces are fairly decent and obviously upgrades over Raw Silk.

Not sure if you're trying to level exclusively in Kunark, if not 30+ would be prime time to hit the old world dungeons for XP. If you want to stay on Kunark, you can level safely outdoors in that range in FV/OT, or try out Kaesora/Nurga/Dalnir if you're feeling spicy (I'd focus on Kaesora since the Necro can charm there and also lull undead which will help a lot). Sage's Battle Staff is a 25/40 2HB that's obtainable in Kaesora.

Ultimately, you want to end up in City of Mist around level 40. There you can camp the Wu's Quivering Staff (23/28), which is far and away your best weapon until IFS/PB/T-Staff and much more easily acquired than those three. CoM will easily take you to 50 with your Wu's Staff and Necro charm DPS. By then you should have farmed enough cash for FBSS/SCHW and some decent fill-in gear and can hit KC or get keyed for Seb/HS.
