Whenever you are back in town, click Purchase Items on a vendor and paste in -[rgb]-.-|g-g-r|g-r-g|r-g-g|nne
This highlights four links, movement speed boots, and items with Green-Green-Red (GGR) sockets. This is a regex filter, and is imperative to finding important items quickly!
Use Longsword at Level 8 or Jade Chopper at Level 9.
Use Bastard Sword at Level 12 or Woodsplitter at Level 13.
Swap Splitting Steel for Spectral Helix at 12, can opt for Shattering Steel if helix playstyle is not enjoyable.
