Sorry to say, but every single one of your pieces needs replacing so..pick one. Think big picture, plan ahead and don't buy garbage.

Right, but that isn't really possible without heavy investment, and I have minimal currency, hence the post.

You can get rings with flat ES, resists and a open prefix for faster start of ES charge for sub exalt. Amulet without ES % is unusable IMO, Two-Toned boots for CI is inappropriate...etc. Just shop better and with more focus.

Yeah fair enough. I've hardly bought anything, save the 5L chest and the weapon. Just been very unlucky with currency drops and/or things of value to sell. And I see your point, but when I have ~1.5-2ex in disposable currency, something being "sub ex" isn't necessarily achievable. I know the boots are garbage, guess i'll focus on some of the more glaring issues first and see.

I started this build a few days ago and am having an absolute blast. I did merc and uber lab at 70 and jumped straight into red maps.
Current gear at level 75:
I made the helmet on a pre enchanted base (40c) and using a single frigid fossil and decided I was happy enough with the result for now.
Amulet was 5c. I'll craft another stat onto it in the future.
Ring was 30 with the aspect.
Resist ring was 5c.
Found bated breath but will replace with a crystal at 79.
Will soon replace tabula with a 5 link regalia.
Found boots while leveling and are good enough for now but will get 30%MS with more es soon.
Shield was a couple c.
Weapon was 1c.
I am trying to craft a multi-mod sceptre at the moment but have sunk around 150c into pristine and bound fossils so far with no luck.
Any obvious upgrades I've missed?
U can get a better weapon easily. Another mod with spell or ele damage would help. i u need the trigger spell, u surely can find someone who can craft it for u for 3c. U can ask me too.
Anyone able to craft trigger a spell on standard? I used to have it during Betrayal. Looks like GGG punked all the standard chars and moved back to veiled. I love it when I lose things that I already earned.

now now, don't be like that, the shield and belt looks kinda okeyish to me

Buy a cheap 6L (corrupted or not) for 1ex or less: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Synthesis/4EvQvMI9
Best dps upgrade and then proceed to get a better weapon.
