1k to twink druid

Until the teens just a decent weapon should be just fine. After that +wis jewelry/gear is what I would recommend.

Depends on what techniques you are going to use to level up.
Assuming you are going to solo, then once you hit 29 the fastest xp is probably charm/agro kiting. This works best after you get ensnare, and it is probably a bit inconvenient doing this with level 1 snare, both because it isnt as slow, and because of it's relatively short duration.
After 34 you also get the option of quad kiting, which is basically to have as much mana pool (wisdom) as possible. The clicky with the free dot is very useful for clearing up the ones that stop running on low health. (not sure if this server has the level 45 requirement for them)
Or you can just keep charm/agro kiting. (I find flame lick a good cheap way of maintaining agro)

That leaves what you intend to do up till 29.
You can charm animals at 14, but I find it more efficient myself to set myself up in a spot where I don't have to move, stay in treeform, use damage shield and just melee the mobs. With the constant regen there is very little downtime and you don't have to burn mana to outdamage your pet. This will work fine up till 29 so long as you keep your defense skill up (which will happen automatically) and invest in some good armor class gear. Having a high dps weapon is a secondary concern since the bulk of your damage will probably be coming from dots and damage shield.

Some of the bandit camps in the karanas are good for this. Just make sure you have everything else harmonied. You can't have sow with treeform up.

I like to have a magic weapon so I can hunt wisps easier, but they are fairly easy and cheap to get. I wouldn't spend too much money on a magic weapon. You really need your money for wisdom stuff later on. If you can't find one for sale in commons, then you might find one for sale in SK. Marik clubthorn is a common spawn and drops a magic weapon.

One thing I'm not sure about is whether or not wisdom affects charm chances for druids. I noticed my druid found charming a lot easier once I got a lot of wisdom gear. I know it was changed so charisma doesn't affect druid charm.

So basically cheap magic weapon, ac gear till 29.
Then wisdom gear.
Clicky dot if you are doing quad and can afford it.
