1.Armor isn't for free, but imo the best buy is the middle armour. A druid armour is quite good for you.
2.The best swords are the swords you make yourself. My personal favourite is the bastard sword. It's an investment at first, but after a while it really pays up when you sell some of them.
3.Never invested much in magic, but I know you always have to look for the statues of Beliar and Innos. The best spells can only be teached by special characters I presume -> It's the same for other special skills.: Rhobar can teach you regenration I believe. I suppose one of the water mages can teach you some awsome magic.
4. Answered that in the previous number.

If you really want exact answers, use this map to find something.

The best skill in the game is "regenerate mana", which makes spellcasting loads of fun, and easy to kill pretty much anything. You get this skill from the highest fire magician, a fellow in the castle of the capitol. You should seek him out and get that skill, it will make everything a lot easier.

You can learn regenerate mana from one of the black mages atop the Bakaresh temple as well.

Btw, is it just me or did Spellbound nerf the speed of mana regeneration in patch 1.6?
