For honorifics I usually buy a sash/ boots/leather gloves from charsi and gheed at act 1. when you make those honorific you get a level requirement of 0, which means you can get 1 more mystic orb on it than on base items that you'd find somewhere.
5 mystic orbs make the item have a level requirement of 20 for Example, while most items you find in act1 will have a level requirement of 1 when you make them honorific, which means 5 mystic orbs applied grants your items a level requirement of 21.
Sockets aren't necessary in early game. That's because if you socket something it has to have a level requirement of 0. but that's impossible, so just go with T1 base items that you bought from chari or gheed.
The armor you get will take care of the defense that we need.
