The early leveling is a pain in the rear if you don't have someone to buy you gems.
However you can just use a melee attack till you get the gems needed.

----------------------------------------------------
Level 38
You have access to every gem you need, if mana is an issue add Lifetap to Bladefall, if mana is still an issue you can add Lifetap to Blade Blast. Using Clairity is also a good solution to this issue, will require some Movement of Aura's based on
Where you are in the tree. Aura Priorieties are Skiiterbots > Herald of Purity > Herald of Ash. Ash is more of a clear speed option while Purity helps both.
=================Upgradi Gear/Crafting=====================================
Boots:
Normal Boots + Quicksilver + Orb of Augmentation = Movement Speed 10% also will upgrade Movement speed by 5% if it has the modifier.
Weapon Upgrades:
Magic Wand/Scepter/Rune Dagger + Topez Ring + Orb of Alteration gives added x Fire damage to Spells. Rairity of ring effects Tier of mod.
+1 Base, Need X "tagged" gems with at least 40 Quality. Makes a +1 All X Skills Weapon
Ring:
Magic/Rare Ring or Amulet with +x to Chaos Resistance + Orb of Augmentation + Amethyst Flask Reforges with just the chaos resistance roll (iLevel matters)
Unique Item:
60 Unique rings gets you a Loreweave which is a pretty decent chest if you do not want to craft one.
List of all reciepes:

Harvest Crafts to Look for:
Critical= good for Weapons and Hunter Chest
Caster= good for Weapons and Hunter Chest (+ level of spell skill gems, Additional Curse, Spell Crit on chest.)
Essence of Anguish addes Fire Damage to Spells on weapon which got massively buffed.
Essence of Woe adds % Spell Damage to Weapons.
=================If Damage Seems Low/If Survivability Seems Low=====================================
Damage: Check your weapon has at least 2 of the following, Critical Stirke Chance with Spells, Critical Strike Multiplier, +1 Added Phsyical Spell Skill Gems, +1 to all Spell Skill Gems, Added Fire Damage to Spells, % Increased Spell Damage.
Check to make sure you are able to cast consistantly if not added Lifetap into Bladefall first. If still having mana issues you can go for Lifetap on Blade Blast. This may be more consistant but it will lower the damage potential.
Survivability: Always know you can use a shield and block mechanics, this will significantly lower your dps numbers however increase your overall Survivability. You can always run Determination over Skitterbots and Herald of Ash.
Make sure resistances are capped, look at Tanky chest options like the Brass Dome. Check the High Investment catagory in the gear section, start trying to get appropriate base Items and work towards crafting the gear, I suggest Harvest crafting
as it doesn't deplete your currency pool.
http://www.craftofexile.com is a great resource for crafting any item, I really like the Emulator section as you can import your item or start from scratch to test with.
Look for Fire Damage to Spells> + all phys/spell gem levels > %Fire/Burning/Spell Damage > Cast Speed > Crit modifiers
For rings, try to get a flamability ring also Adds # to # fire damage against Ignited Enemies (Warlord), and a % fire damage (Essence of Anger)
Hunter Chest with Life and Increased Spell Critical Chance is great for damage.
Tailwind/Ellusive boots are nice however not at all needed.
Unique Items to look for: The Brass Dome, Loreweave, Replica Eternity Shroud (Very Expensive to gear), Kaom's Roots (possible boss fights), Doryani's Delusion with Fire Damage to Spells, Legacy of Fury seems to just apply
scourched now which makes them appealing.
Weapons: Heartbreaker, Divinarius, Axiom Perpetuum, Martyr of Innocence. Mageblood for Obvious reasons, Crystallised Omniscience has potential, Melding of the Flesh is insane since we get +100% to Fire Resistances
so you can really change your typical gearing, as you can get just fire to 90 then you get 90 to all res. The Annihilating Light will be the biggest DPS increase as long as you can balance resistances.
