Hey hey,
So I'm a Level60 Fiona on the Aus server. Almost finished my Shining Will set (missing the Klaus pieces and struggling with Weight management) but I'm wondering if there's any enchants worth my time hunting at this stage for my set? I'm fairly new to Vindictus, this is the first character I've made since the old cap was like lvl28 or something.
If it makes a difference I'm currently using a +8 Monark Longsword and hoping to upgrade to a Dreamwalker sometime in the far distance (they're pretty expensive here).
Thanks
:bow:

Enduring is an easy-ish one to farm - it gives +15 Stam once you get to rA Cloth Mastery. Taonu can drop it on Normal/Hard and you can farm it easily in Ruins of Sanctity Hero. The extra stamina is really helpful as that's nearly a whole extra Large Shield HS you can budget in for stamina purposes.
Zeal is a bit lower in terms of droprates, but it's effect is useful too. 1 stam/second regen no matter what you're doing really comes in handy when you're watching certain stamina breakpoints (22 vs 23 for one vs two HS, 18 vs 19 for Amaranth). It's from Decisive Battle Hero - which can be done extremely quickly with the Warrior's Challenge oath. Berserker outclasses this (and they don't stack), but is much harder to farm and far more expensive.
Stone can be a decent entry level option for Fiona. Since Stone procs on getting hit, and blocking counts as getting hit - you get to keep your 3k extra Def up pretty often compared to other classes. It drops in Blood Prince Hero, which is also great Small Shield practice.
Weapon wise - Gallant is a fairly cheap balanced option and can actually be obtained at Ruins of Sanctity Hero as well (albeit at a low droprate). It also drops in Irukul Hero, which people farm for Warlords so you get a lot of extra Gallants in the market.
For the suffix - Yeti is better than nothing. Despite the name - it also drops at Blood Prince Hero. The hundred attack is certainly better than nothing if you happen to stumble upon one.
Everything after these base enchants gets kinda expensive, so I'll hold off on any more advice until then. These ones are all also rA or below - so they're all safe and require no runes.

If you're still struggling with weight management at this point, make sure to rank appropriate skills - Weight Mastery to at least B or A, equipment masteries (Plate, Heavy, Light if you plan to run an attack set later) to rank 9 to prep for raiding gear, same with weapon masteries. As Invertex said, running Enduring and Zeal are both really accessible and decent enchants to have - both my Lann and Vella have it, and my Fiona will also run it when she's at an appropriate level.
While you're running a +8 monark, if you can afford it you could also swap to a stop-gap level 60 sword. There's currently a Sword-Breaker floating on the marketplace for 300k, which at +2 has more raw att (but the Monark outclasses it by far in crit, and at +8 it will also be extremely competitve), or if you could farm one maybe even a Fomor Commander Training Sword (which should be somewhat competitive at +5). If you're farming some SP titles you may want to consider running hero Friends?, which has a chance of dropping a Safety ES while generating extreme amounts of SP.
Always good to see another AU vindi player on the nation.
