The problem is my neck, wrists, and rings, which currently have a respective item level of 5,18, 15, and 15.

The only ones I have found in shops are also junk.

How do I go about improving these items?

Quests?

Is there a marketplace somewhere where they can be purchased? I have close to 200k gil.

Thank you for your help!

Accessories (belt, earrings, neck, bracelet, rings) tend to be rewarded by side quests and not MSQ.

There's a bit of a gap for them on vendors in the 35-49 range, making the MB a primary source though it can be expensive. And you won't be able to buy the level 50 tomestone accessories until you complete Castrum and Praetorium.

Best way to do it - ask someone you know who has level Goldsmith to at least 50 to make the accessories you need (belts are usually Leatherworkers though sometimes Weaver or Armorer). They can tell you what materials are needed. Buying the materials from the MB is usually a lot cheaper than buying the finished item.

I know I'm replying a bit on the late side so I hope you have what you need by now.
