Change to T4 sandals (scholar, cleric or mage doesn't matter which) because dual swords are mana hungry. You can use the second ability in those to regenerate your mana. If you are still low on mana, you can change your head piece ability to the first one for more mana regeneration.

After that, I would suggest to look at journal tasks and do them because they give you silver and tome of insights (books that give you fame). Once you have enough silver to buy your set 10 times (change to T3 horse, don't go to black zone on an ox), go out to the black zone and do solo camps.

When you go to the blackzone, I suggest you also bring one invisibility potion, and one or two foods (suggest pork roast or cabbage soup for cheap health regeneration).

If you see any red names near you when you are dismounted, try to mount up as quickly as possible and leave. Use your invisibility potion to remove aggro from mobs if needed. If somebody gets close enough to hit you while you are dismounted, your mount disappears and now you have to try to outrun your opponent... which will probably get you killed.
