Pendrik Village

In Pendrik Village there's a bounty quest that will give a Staff as the reward.
Titanium Staff of Justice, lv 34, Durability 5
Dmg 75, M Dmg 97, Crit rate 3.7%, MP Inc 15

He will also give the second bounty quest.

There's also a Fusion Machine here. I used it to make a lot of Healing Potion L since M is not enough anymore.

A Legendary Sword can be found in the Devos Plains, just before you enter the Red Hood Bandits hideout.
Inside the hideout, at the Basement level, there's an Improved Treasure Box that can be respawned easily after you defeat the Redhood Boss.

After rescuing the Channel from the Arnen Soldier's, again, you can get the second bounty reward
Titanium Smite's Mace
Lv 36, Durability 3. Dmg 93, M Dmg 102
Crit Rate 3.0%, MPInc 10

Completing one of the quest here will also give a nice equipment
Haldate's Ring
Lv 34, Socket 0
STR 6, VIT 4

Before going south to the Smuggler's Road, i suggest you combine the Novice Jewels into Standard Jewel and also make potion or buy them.
I believe that it's better to buy Healing Pot M and then use the Fusion Machine to make Healing Pot L.

The Last battle before entering the Smuggler's Road didn't give any Boss Treasure Box
