Just needs some advice, thanks in advance.
Your missing a weapon- you can carry 8! Your almost dual-boosted... a Golden Compass could fill that gap and with defense is a tad stronger than the book.
It's mostly fine though. I'd think you next upgrade beyong that (out of your budget) would be the other NQ2 Insane weapon, Staff of Destruction, or the advanced dual dutys: Dusty Magic Broom, Air Faerie Crown or similar ones.
If only 11-iconers sailed anywhere near 600k

I think a Black Frost Cannon/Rainbow Frost Cannon would serve you better than a dual duty weapon, since your defence is not as high as your attack. However, the Golden Compass would vary your attack and serve well against someone else's Ramtors Spellbook. Nonetheless, it doesn't block a lot even, against opponents with the same boost.
A better defence sounds good, is there an upgrade for my leaf sheild? I don't see why I need a golden compass, all it has is a little defence, I already have a 10-iconer and a 13-iconer as my main weapons. I like WiltChamberlain13 advice though.
well does anybody have any advice on my defence?
For defence, you may want to train level to 75 and then defence to 85 boost.
well of course I need to train, I mean weapon wise, Is there a way I can better my defence? What can I upgrade Leaf Shield to?
There are very few worthwhile shields, as there are very few shields capable of denting an attacking enough to make them worthwhile.
These shields are:
Leaf Shield
Patched Magic Hat
Ghostkershield (way out of your budget range)
Other shields either don't block enough icons or are way out of proportion to their price. We can also add Shadow Shield and Clawed Shield to this bunch, but they are also out of your budget.
So no, you really can't upgrade your leaf shield.
However, look into the dual duties i mentioned earlier- why? Compared to pure attack weapons, there price-potential ratio is MUCH higher so you can be stronger than what you pay for.
Example... Example... Take for example a Scuzzys Comb (cheapest 10-iconer) at 375k roughly un-inflated and a Cloudy Wand of Storms (Cheapest 10-icon dual-duty) at 87k roughly un-inflated. If you face 3 earth icons frequently or can predict etc, you've saved yourself nearly 300k for the same benefit in battle. Of course there is the chance of failing to block, but keep in mind you have that extra cash to either get a better dual duty or better other gear. This is mainly due to the fact that many pets don't have a fair defense stat and thus defensive gear is not as in demand (as in economics) thus the price falls.
