You can get a halfway decent mace straight out of Cassardis if you're gutsy enough to search the cliffs near The Encampment. One of the chests there has a chance of dropping one; it isn't great, but it's better than other weapons you'll get early. You'll probably lose a pawn or two to the Brine.

You can also get the Blue Kite Shield from a sarcophagus if you venture all the way up to the Barta Crags early. Make sure you bring a Ferrystone if you do that though. It's a long trip back. If you're gonna try it I'd wait till you have a Portcrystal so that if you don't get the shield drop you can at least place the PC up there for later, that way it isn't a wasted trip.
