Looks like somebody already moved it cuz W+A is the right thread. How much do you make per day on average? that could help us help you set a long term set goal. looking at things right now, what you need is a bomb. With 150 hp, and lower boosts, you'll probably be fighting quite a few lower hped pets and a bomb would help you out. The bomb of course would be honey potion for around 770k. It'd require you sell your staff oRF. Then after that I'd suggest a scarab ring to fill in your last spot.

Overall your set looks fine for the budget. Perhaps moving weapons around if you want, but concentrate on training your str/def up to 125+

At first I wanted to say, just get another 10 icon constant, such as anoter Staff of Righteous Fury; Scuzzys Comb; or Ramtors Spellbook or maybe save up to the 775k needed for a Honey Potion

But then I saw than you have higher defense than Str, so I'm guessing you're in a league or guild where that benefits you (such as the current highly flawed NCW league system), so I'm going to recommend some shields and dual duties.

Your current set blocks everything but fire, and the best fire blocking option in your budget is probably the lowly Scarab Ring, which is regarded as a beginner weapon by people who forget that it comes out even against many 9 and 11 icon offensive weapons. The other option for fire defense is trying to find a Greater Fire Potion, but at r99 that's not going to be worth the cost.

You have a Pteri, so you resist 40% of Air. You have a Golden Compass so you can effectively defend dark. So why are you using Mystical White Cloak? A Sword of the Dead will block more light and comes with an attack attached. Unless you're going up against a lot of people with Air Faerie Crown, I'd recommend dropping the MWC. If you are really attached to the Light/Dark defense in one item, Pteri Egg Amulet is another option to consider, but probably not the best one.

Furthermore, you have a higher Def than Str, so unless you are very good at predicting when your opponent is going to bomb, you're probably better off with another shield or defensive dual duty that you are with Downsize!. Normally I'd recommend Cloudy Wand of Storms; Frozen Wand of Crystals and/or Golden Compass, but you already have a compass and your Leaf Shield covers the icons the wands could block, so instead you should probably consider Thief Dagger which comes out ahead in matchups against a surprising number of 9 & 10 icon weapons. Alternately you could try Brilliant Wing Amulet, since I had a crazy run of luck with it. (Use it when you see a Stone Club or Hobans Hat, otherwise just use it the turn you use sink, and keep it in your first slot so it get stolen first, since almost nobody knows what it does)

I prefer dual duties myself, but with your defense advantage, I feel it's worthwhile to mention Patched Magic Hat, Shiny Shoal Shell Shield, and Earthen Scorchstone. It might also be worth your while to test out Sophies Magic Hat as I heard early rumours that it offered better defense than the current IDB listing shows. (if the IDB stats are correct, then it's not worth the current price)
