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.

The Silver Gauntlet is a nice upgrade for your FIGHTER, improving both Absorb and Evade compared to the Iron Gauntlet. You can save some money once you reach Crescent Lake by waiting until you find one in Gurgu Volcano.

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 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 Mithril Mail is a solid upgrade for anyone that can use it. The Mag.Pwr bonus of the White Dress may be preferable for the ladies, but the men who can wear Mithril Mail will generally get good use out of it.
