I felt I had to share this since early game often is a struggle and from time to time I stand in dwarf town with scrap for gear and wonder I'll survive animated forest.
This human assassin with crappy wand starsign and somewhat average stats....
Shopkeeper in thief town killed an aggro assassin for me, free wand of fire 3-4 charges, thank you!
Had to go 4-5 times back and forth between ud and hmw to carry all stuff to the shop.
Bought an expensive (6k) wand of acid 4 charges in thief town.
In coc before dwarf town I found a scroll shop.
Find a dwarf ring shop, with rods (11k) , mental stability, telecontrol and see invis also before dwarf town.
Misc shop after dwarf town sell me a sword of sharpness (4k).
Something also drops an eternium broadsword.
A lot of flimsy but really good stuff:
