Well, since you cannot beat her I recommend going to the bottom of the Tower of Zot and exiting it. Go inside of Eblan Castle and try taking all of the treasures. I think there's some pretty decent weapons there. There should also be a town that sells good weapons/armour, I believe it's the town with the mini/pig/toad people. I'm not totally sure though....
Excellent advice, but remember to be careful when you're opening the chests, some contain very difficult monsters, but the exp and the treasures are worth it. And the town is Silveria, which is the mini/pig/toad people.
