No worries man.
Go and do the elf quest today. Then you can replace the Pad of the Cu Cidhe with other footwear that will help more.
You will want a one handed deed for your weapon eventually. Have some of the Crafters, like Bobthebuilder, Shena, Old Dirty, etc check it out before you add the deeds just to make certain you are using it on one that will last you forever.
Replace your shield with Fever Fall, usually about 100k.
Jewellery you will eventually want Swords and Tactics for them. For now find a sword and parry one if you can, they will help you survive a lot of fighting.
Your belt is a good one, but I would replace it with a Belt of Fortune.
When I get on my computer I will fill this out more and list some items you may enjoy fighting to get.
Of course if you have spare ED, then some of the Higher End items are available from other players then.
