There's an easier way to get better equipment than what you listed. For the weapons go to the Dainty Sload. There should be a Corsair with a Scimitar. For Armor an easier route would be go to the Black-Briar Lodge and kill the mercenary there and take their Steel Plate Armor (Item). If your're someone looking for a bow the Forsworn Bow does more damage than a Elven Bow. Just go to Kolskeggr Mine and kill the low level Forsworn outside of the mine.
