Hello all,
I'm currently playing a level 6 Ifrit swashbuckler in PFS. He uses dervish dance and an adamantine +1 scimitar for his swashbucklin' needs. I have the +2 Dex belt, and mithiral armor. I need suggestions for other cool magic items, that would benefit my heave dex based swashbuckler.
Thanks!

Feat wise i have Improved initiative, dervish dance, scorching weapons, dodge.
I would seriously recommend a cloak of resistance as your top priority. Saves are a serious liability for the class, and anything packing poison is going to run through your swashbucker's grace uses way too quick for that the be a reliable solution.
Past that, I'd get an offhand weapon. You lose out on the precision damage, but you free your swift actions up for other deeds, and pull in twice the panache.

.... dear gods you have the will save of lobotomized lemming.
Ok, you need a wayfinder (250 gp) with a clear spindle ioun stone (1,000), STAT. The resonance gives you a protection from evil that will stop you from getting charmed or dominated by eeevil things.
Featherstep boots let you ignore difficult terrain, but boots of speed occupy the same slot (and you should be looking into those soonish)
Golem bane scarab (1600) , because some of them have DR/ Nya nya! rather than hardness or DR adamantine.

Overall I agree with this, but the price tag on that clear spindle Ioun stone is 4000gp
It's a good thing to have, but it isn't really the be all/end all of fixing the low will save problem. Plenty of non-evil spellcasters out there use charm spells, plus there are other spells that it will fail to protect you against that can still cripple you.

D OH!.. Stupid typing paws..

True, but i don't think theres ANY fixing that will save at this point, not with an uber cloak and iron will. I mean each plus on the cloak is a 5% chance, the clear spindle is around a 50 50 chance on its own.

On the upside, PFS is mostly evil spell casters! Unless they recently changed something.
Clear spindle Ion stone then cloak of resist, pronto. Even then, expect your life to suck hard.
For a challenge, at level 8 multiclass into something that doesn't have good saves so you can be stuck at -1....
I'd seriously consider a 2 level dip into paladin to help bring you up to having a chance on those will saves. That'd at least get you to a base of 5, which is bad by level 8, but at least you'll make some will saves. You were probably getting a charisma headband sometime anyway so that will help a little too.

Agreed that it should be bought, pronto!, and it is the best way out of a lot of trouble that poor will saves can get you into. I just wanted to point out that the OP shouldn't expect it to fix all his problems.
I appreciate the advice, and upping my will saves would be a big benefit, but it's a lovable character flaw. I have +17 initiative and a terrible wisdom score, with the idea being that i run in...act first...and question later...or don't question later.
