On Emerald Isle you should have killed the dragon, then you would have all the money and armour you need.... save and loot, if corpse remains save and loot, if it doesn't, go back to first save repeatedly until it does.

However, even without this superstart, which makes the game fairly easy, you might follow a simple stategy of travelling aroung ALL the towns picking up horseshoes/ore/chests/wells/altars/challenges on the run, fighting only the wimps, and buying a few superior bows in Avlee. All your armour improvement needs should be taken care of by the chests and ore which you pick up and take to Erathia. You can also pick up and complete a few quests which are simple, safe and rewarding while you are on this "run-around".

I would finance this trip from the goblins in and around Harmondale, from The White Cliff Caves where you get a pack of cards and from Arcomage in all the towns to which you travel. At the end of this trip and after becoming expert in Leather and Body Magic and Air Magic (Wizards Eye) and Bow where possible, you will then be strong enough for the Barrows which supply further loads of loot.

There are a group of thieves in the south eat of Erathia who are easy to take if you keep retreating in front of them and using your bows. And just off the eastern most path in the northern half of the map there is a cave where you can find a ring to complete a quest...(The merchant from the inn in Harmondale)

Buy "Fly" and "Invisibility" scrolls on your travels and you can make loads of money/ore in Deyja and on the plateau about Tatalia. In Deyja there is a "very nearly infinite experience" bug. Let me know if you have not already learned about this and would like to try it. There is also lots of ore in The Bracada Desert and at least one Fly scroll in a chest roughly southwest of the stable.
With the ore you pick up you can, with saves and patience, supply many of your equipment needs.

I hope this is useful for you John. If it is or you want further clarification of anything here, just say so.
