At completely base level 99, you're still Rabbit 2 and Rooster 2 - this is going to be easiest. Most people ally with rooster against rabbit, as rooster favor is valued for Sa spells.

If you're reasonably equipped, have plenty of healing items, and get close to the 20k/10k vitality/mana cap for Rabbit 2 without going over, you probably can solo the Rab2/Rooster2 pairing specifically. Others less likely, but there are often people running around Mythic just to help with alliances during busy hours.

Picking up damaged orbs like Suppress at the cost of daily coins can help a lot with alliances. Can't use these grouped, and cuts your experience and droprate, but the kills still count.

Vital attacks like whirlwind aren't very impressive compared to swing damage down at that end, so the rule of thumb is usually "enough vitality to comfortably survive in your caves" and pour the rest into mana to reach higher rage tiers.

Warriors do care about AC for much of the progression due to Rage's AC penalty and their tendency to drop to 10% vitality every 22s. Hit no longer matters once you've reached the warrior Might softcap of 130, and Dam on gear is never really a decision point unless you're unspeakably rich. Caring about vitality and mana on gear is rarely worth the cost, as just a little training has the same effect.

Ambrosia are fine hand items, a Totem/Clan helm is a fine helm until you find any coloured Amber casque for the -1.

Once you have no other need for the karma (e.g. you've been Blessed by the Watcher if you're going CR) you can work on your celestial armors for more AC. Wind armor isn't worth wearing ever, realistically, but you'll need it eventually for Sa.

You should make a point of picking up your L97 steel shield. The warrior gauntlet prerequisite is a pain if you've skipped that so far, but the Nagnag armory itself isn't too bad as long as you bring a caster. The Armory is split into 99 and il+ tiers, so any 99 caster can help. The last room might be a pain until you have enough damage output.

For weapons, it's definitely worth seeing if a friend or your clan is willing to lend you a Cutlass skully - it's far ahead of the competition. Like all Warrior weapons worth using, they'll break on death without item protections. A titanium blade works in the meantime and those are cheap, if not necessarily easy to find.

Subaccessories aren't particularly necessary. You can make Gruff rings repeatably via the quest, but they're BoD and probably not really worth the effort or protects. The stats on subs besides AC are pretty unimportant, and all subs of a given rank have the same AC, so you're doing well with literally anything level 99 in that slot - but again, probably not worth going out of your way for.
