As a self found Barbarian you can save up 12pp for a 6 damage 29 delay spear from home city merchants, then move to a fine steel great staff or combine version on merchants or as a barbarian you could kill a low level dwarf at the docks in Qeynos to get a 13 50 Bloodforge Hammer and with Velious out I would get a 9 32 Bloodstained Fang from late 20's snow cougars in Iceclad. You can also save your pp and get blacksmithing high enough for banded armor then switch in the mid levels to Totemic armor which you can ride to the high 50's if you want to and switch up with attainable wisdom gear. The Totemic armor will need a suit of MEDIUM banded armor for the quest which is convenient. You can also pretty easily get the 5 hp earrings but not having 5 ac 55 hp rings would be annoying to me.
