Haven't seen a decent 19 mage yet. They are powerful and alittle tougher, but mages dnt get good abilities til 20 so not too great. :) The world drops can be a bitch to get I know. But some items are much easier, the Hydra heart is simple if you can be bothered to camp the pond. Low lvls tend to sell the random daggers fairly cheaply (fiery wrath!) as well. Tree Bark jacket can be farmed in BFD, etc. So not too bad to locate. The upside being that mages dnt end up paying 300g for a weapon. :) Plus the leg patchs seem to be ALOT cheaper then the clefthide (STA/AGI) kind. Personally I'd say bugger off and leave the BG to the 10-19s not your lvl 70 in miniture. :P
