You won't find much for sale over near Halas in general. Better off making the move to the Freeport area and having someone make you a set of banded. It should be around 90pp for the set. You'll be able to pick up a +wis hammer like a Wraithbone or Sharkbone in EC for around or under 100pp as well. Plenty of good cheap weapons available, beetle stinger is another that comes to mind.

You can basically get by on looted gear as a shaman and don't need to invest too heavily, buy cheap +wis gear and maybe target specific drops you want and hunt them down (SolA for example has lots of really great low/mid-tier loots and is rarely camped).

As sad as it sounds if this is your first character you have a long road to hoe to get the items that really make shamans shine. Spells alone level 50+ will cost you ridiculous amounts of money. I would start your Fungi Tunic savings fund today as it is a game changer.

This. Shaman really don't need gear, or at least not purchased gear.

When I started my shammy a friend gave me a Barbarian Spiritist's Hammer and a couple of 5/55 rings, but none of that was essential. The rings were nice, but there were very few times when I could honestly say "I wouldn't have died if I'd only had 100 more hp at the start of the fight" ... I almost always died because (for instance) I should have gated at 30% but stuck around until 20% thinking I could kill the mob, or I didn't see a red and it killed me in 0.5 seconds, or some other way where a few more max HP wouldn't have mattered. As for the BSH it didn't even start proccing until 35 I think, and even then the procs were rare enough that it didn't make much difference, so it might as well have been any generic magic weapon.

I don't think I purchased a single piece of equipment until I was in the 40s; before that it was just spells and food/drink/bags.

The only thing I'd disagree with Spyder on is that I'd save up for a JBB first. It's super useful from 45 on, and once you get 30-35k more saved up you can always sell it to buy a fungi.
