Crescent Lake, Elfheim
When you reach Elfheim, the Mythril Sword is far and away the best weapon available for your Warrior or Red Mage. 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). If you want the best raw power possible, save up and buy this weapon. However, consider just pretending it's not even sold in Elfheim. (It isn't, in future versions of the game.) There are a lot of interesting weapons that just get tossed by the wayside if you have a Mythril Sword, and the game is a little bit more challenging if you ignore it.
Of course, once you reach Crescent Lake, it is well worth investing in this sword, even if you will find better weapons soon enough in Mt. Gulg and the Ice Cavern.

Elven Castle
The Mythril Hammer is a long-overdue weapon upgrade for your White Mage. It isn't a huge step up from the normal Hammer sold in Cornelia, but it does add 5 Accuracy that is sorely needed. It is most easily found in the Elven Castle after receiving the Mystic Key. You can buy more in Crescent Lake, but unless you have multiple White Mages, it is unlikely that you will want to.

Like other axes, the Mythril Axe gives up Accuracy in favor of Attack, though by the time you find one in Mt. Gulg, your Warrior may be level 16, at which point he is not giving up any hits using it. Whether to use it in favor of the Mythril Sword is up to you. In any case it is probably not worth buying one of these in Crescent Lake unless you have multiple Warriors.

Mythril Mail is a nice piece of armor with very low Weight for its Defense. It's not strong enough to be useful for a Warrior, but any Red Mage will be happy for the upgrade. You can find a suit in the Mt. Duergar treasure vault long before you reach Crescent Lake where it is sold.

The Mythril Shield is another solid upgrade that you can find before you're likely to buy one. Four extra Defense at no penalty to Evasion (compared to the Iron Shield) is nothing to scoff at.

You will find a number of Mythril Helms throughout the game, but since only Warriors (and Ninjas) can use them, you probably won't need too many. Fortunately they sell for a decent price. As helms go, they make a nice upgrade over the Grand Helm, and should be equipped as soon as possible.

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.

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.

The Mythril Knife is one of only two mythril weapons that you cannot find for free in the next two dungeons after it becomes available. As such, if you have a knife-user, it's worth upgrading to this weapon. It's a little more accurate than the Dagger, and a whole lot more powerful.

Terra starts with this basic dagger, but it's actually an upgrade for Locke. You can Steal one from the Marshal, or just wait to buy one in South Figaro for a meager 300 GP.
