Not the best items by any means, I'm a newbie in the dome myself, but I use my Carved Qasalan Blowgun, a Fighting Folder, & Bronze Scorchstone a lot. Since I'm a beginner and a lot of my foes don't have a lot of HP, I also use a Meteor Bomb once a battle on occasion and some single-use items whenever I have some laying around. The shield I use is normally kind of worthless so eventually I hope to find something better to upgrade to. Nothing I got for my little start-up is too expensive.
 
Putting thought into your faerie blessings helps a lot too when starting out. I used to have Halitosis as my first blessing, but have changed to Static Cling and like it, as well as Shade as my second tier (I use this a lot and it saves me lots of damage sometimes), Positive Thinking for my lvl 10 blessing, which doesn't help much but hey, it's HP, and an Icicle for my lvl 25 faerie blessing. My pet is a higher level even though I'm just starting out, because I just got into Battledoming long after Coltzan and other dailies boosted my pets level.
 
I'm sure more experienced BDers have better suggestions, but since I've been rotating that stuff and fighting enemies within my means I haven't lost any battles. When I train my pet up to have more HP and skill I will move on to bigger opponents and better items.
