Silver Armor is a nice piece with very low Evade penalty for its Absorb. It's not strong enough to be useful for a FIGHTER, but any RedMAGE will be happy for the upgrade. You can find a suit in the Dwarf Cave Treasure vault long before you reach Crescent Lake where it is sold. It is quite valuable if you decide to sell it.

The Silver Shield is another solid upgrade that you can find before you're likely to buy one. It yields 4 extra Absorb with no additional penalty to Evade compared to the Iron Shield.

You will find a number of Silver Helmets throughout the game, but since only FIGHTERS (and NINJAS) can use them, you probably won't need too many. Fortunately they sell for a decent price. As Helmets go, they make a nice upgrade over the Iron Helmet, and should be equipped as soon as possible.

Once you get the mystic KEY, you'll inexplicably be rewarded with not one but three Silver Daggers. It's a good Weapon for your Bl.MAGE, but no other Class. If you just want one to equip, the easiest to get is in Castle Coneria. The other two can be sold for a quick 400 G each.
When you reach ElfLand, the Silver Sword is far and away the best Weapon available for your FIGHTER or RedMAGE. So much so, in fact, that you won't find or be able to buy anything better until you reach Crescent Lake (incidentally, the other town that sells this sword). This Weapon isn't really needed in the Marsh Cave, but it will help immensely against ASTOS (assuming the wielder survives to use it).

The Silver Hammer is a long-overdue Weapon upgrade for your Wh.MAGE. It isn't a huge step up from the Iron Hammer sold in Coneria, but it does add 5 Hit Rate that is sorely needed. It is most easily found in the Castle of Elf after receiving the mystic KEY. You can buy more in Crescent Lake, but unless you have multiple Wh.MAGES, it is unlikely that you will want to.

Like other axes, the Silver Axe gives up Hit Rate in favor of Damage, though by the time you find one in Gurgu Volcano, your FIGHTER may be level 16, at which point he is not giving up any hits using it. Whether to use it in favor of the Silver Sword is up to you. In any case it is probably not worth buying one of these in Crescent Lake unless you have multiple FIGHTERS.

Mythril Gloves are a nice upgrade for your Warrior, improving both Defense and Evasion compared to the Steel Gloves. You can save some money once you reach Crescent Lake by waiting until you find a pair in Mt. Gulg.

Mythril Gloves are fairly expensive, but provide 3 more defense than the Bronze Gloves with no additional penalty. You won't find a pair until after you've destroyed the Dreadnought, so it's worthwhile to pick them up when they become available (and you can afford it).
