Hi all new player same name

[tenkakahn]

My brother gave me his account because he went back to playing rift and dc universe. I currently have 270,858 platinum pieces. But every time I ask for his help on what to buy he says "ask the forums" don't bother me. So I was wondering if anyone would help me out I have tried to play 4 times and I just sit in the tunnel with everyone and haven't actually got to play yet. I have been buying all the cheap gear I can I will list it below I wanted to play a high elf caster maybe Mage but everyone refused to make me the chain mail armor that crafters make. So I guess I'm stuck with the level 43 monk I watched him play a few times and I think I can click auto attack and kick every few seconds then if I'm going to die click feign death and go afk until full life.

So my gear is:
Earring - golden amber earring x2
Helm - helm of rile
Face - sarnak hide mask
Chest - empty
Necklace - golden opal amulet
Arms - drake-hide sleeves
Cloak - empty
Shoulders - drolvarg mantle
Belt - red sash of order
Bracer - fire emerald golden bracelet / wolfs eye golden bracelet
Boots - kobold-hide boots
Charm - empty
Gloves - Wu's fighting gauntlets
Legs - raw silk leggings
Rings - platinum jacinth wedding ring
Primary - empty
Secondary - empty
Range - empty
Ammo - empty

Thanks for your help the only thing my brother said was to get a fungus covered tunic, a tranquil staff, and a cloak on fire. I have never seen any of those items whenever I get on so if anyone has some items I could use I will buy and if someone would let me know when I have enough gear to go party with people and maybe take me somewhere I would really appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to read.
