I did quests in the noob area until I felt I had enough gold to be self sufficient without using tool chests (I didn't know they existed yet). I had about 4 sets of weapons in the bank, maybe 1 set of leather type armor, and like 300 gold. Then I left to Khosgar.

The main thing is your ability to kill mobs. Once you can do that, you can kill kobolds etc around Khosgar and pretty easily keep yourself in minimal gold and noob gear.

Your harvesting skills should eventually bring you to a point where you can reliably keep yourself in banded, decent weapons, and mounts, but I have to say it takes quite a bit of farming time to farm up a mount and full set of banded. You can usually get your decent weapons from a farm group or you can have them made if you can't farm up the right mobs.
