Thanks! I got all the gear at level 20. I started out by joining the Companions, roleplaying as a bounty hunter, all while gathering a part of the stones of Barenziah. Once I got the Wolf gear, I killed Fultheim for his katana and completed enough of the Main Quest to get me in Delphine's secret room in Riverwood where I got the other katana. At levels 10-12 I hitched a ride to Solstheim and did all the quests to get my hands on Morag Tong gear. Killing ash spawns and Falx Carius so early was tough. I had to use sneak archery (without a dog) then exit and re-enter the fort to re-sneak. Still, I survived. Joining the Dawnguard and Dark Brotherhood, I had all the gear, besides the Ebony Blade, at levels 15-16.
