An important factor to consider is how you spend your time in-game and who you spend your time with.
Questions you should consider: Do you find yourself playing more in full servers or with small groups/alone? Are there usually enough well-geared commandos during the time you are active, or not enough? What classes are lacking in the groups that you play with?
Looking at your items, it seems like you already have a character capable of kiting waves 1-7 of hard mode. If you ever need to make some quick cash, you can just play your archer and attempt to kite for loot. That archer gear is good enough for Hard mode and the only thing you're missing is the ability to bring in SHC for Ragnarok. Your commando can make a decent contribution in Ragnarok mode just by shielding with bannerguards, but you could consider purchasing a good two-hander (e.g. boarding axe) in case your team is lacking in good slashing weapons. Having a great one-hander usually isn't worth the investment, as most shielders don't tend to use their one handers. Steel sword is good enough for normal mode and maybe the first half of hard mode. Your pikeman and crossbow need the most work. I'd recommend against focusing on the crossbow, since it's a pretty expensive class to equip if you want decent gear. Pikeman would be simpler, as you just need to purchase CTS and a polearm (e.g. german poleaxe).
How you actually spend your money is up to you, of course. I'd look into first getting your sniper and pikeman to level 50 and T4 support so you can swap your SHC around to whichever character you're playing. Don't forget though -- great equipment does not make a good player. Even the best bow and arrows are worthless if never fired. The best shield is worthless if not in the right place to protect the team.
