Health: 130 / 130
Strength: AWESOME (62)
Defence: GREAT (35)
Move: EXCELLENT (49)

Scarab Ring
Leaf Shield
Fighting Folder
Sand Snowball
Frozen Wand of Crystals
Magical Healing Potion

2 Stone Snowball
2 Snow Mudball
other misc snowballs
Caustic Potion

I have a couple mill to spend and want to have a good set that will last me a while doing 1 player.
I'm training endurance everyday.
Thoughts on what I need and don't need?

Thanks!

A couple mil? There's a huge difference between 3mil and 7mil.

Don't be training END everyday...Train LVL to 50 so you get Berserk.
Then train STR to 85.

Could you afford two Scuzzys Combs then? Or are you passed that?
The next would be to upgrade to Bow of Destiny.

Any other advice?

You need a freezer and a real healer.

Even Snowglobe Staff will do as a freezer for 1p challengers, although if you have more to spend, you may want to consider the fragile Scroll of Freezing for garoo or other DoN mission

Greater Healing Scroll is a little weak for you as a healer, but as you list no budget you probably can't afford the rather expensive non-species upgrades. You might want to consider Jade Elixir or other single-use full healers for Garoo and DoN missions though.

Garoo's attacks are mostly Earth and Physical, with the big hits being heavy earth. That means that a Shovel Plus is likely your best bet against him. (although if you have 10+ million NP or so, Yooyuball Player Sling and Shield of Pion Troect will do horrible things to him)

With the general pattern of

Round 1: Snowglobe Staff + Shovel Plus + Burrow

Withdraw, heal and restart until two things happen: you freeze and he uses his Brown Clockwork Grundo

Round 2: (he's frozen) Muffin + Snowball + Berserk

Round 3: Frozen Wand of Crystals + Downsize! + Lutari Swoop

Round 4:+ Frozen Wand of Crystals + Shovel Plus + Lutari Swoop.
heal when you get below 40 HP. remember you can heal once with an item and once with Regeneration or another faerie ability.

If that doesn't work, upgrade your bombs to 15 icon muffins such as Smelly Dung Muffin and/or pick up a Thick Smoke Bomb for an extra safe round.

Thanks!
You have beaten Commander Garoo!

The snowball, muffin, beserk combo really did him in!

You should be able to beat garoo pretty easily with those stats. HE's actually very easy for difficulity 120, it's just that it's painful to get him, not to beat him. And you should be training strength, you'll regret training endurance because it's the easiest stat to get.
