There is:
Celestial Shield This give you Overland flight. And replaces your darkwood buckler. Tho as an archer you really don't need a shield.
I take it the DM redesigned Radiance into a longbow? Originally it was a longsword. If this is the case I guess your bow is fine.
I would bump up your Stat belt and/or headband of Charisma to a +4 or +2 to Dex and Str. This campaign has good wealth and you could probably get the multi stat belt and a big Cha headband.
Silver smite Bracelets lets you speed up your smite progression and levels. Since smite is added to each arrows this is a really good item.

After you cast overland flight you put it on your back and enjoy 7 hours of flight.
If your an archer paladin you dont use a shield. You should be taking feats like point blank master and just kill them. Get phase locking on you bow/arrow or dimentional anchor spell needs to be thrown down.
Archer paladin doesnt tank but if he has to you just keep shooting and use liberal lay on hands. Your playing rocket tag in mythic. Archer paladin should be a champion. Dual path immediately for mythic smite. The idea of pulling a shield with all archery feats is funny but worthless.

Definitely buy a scroll of Named Bullet for the arcane caster to scribe into their book, and a beer for the divine caster to cast blessing of fervor regularly so you can cast extended litany of righteousness-es.
I would invest in a way to reliably overcome SR, perhaps a glove of storing and a lesser piercing metamagic rod, perhaps some dweomer essence. Perhaps both. Also some languages as your litanies are language dependent. Maybe a +2 Int ioun stone at some point with linguistics in it?
Pearl of Power 1 and 2 are fantastic for you as early spells are very valuable. Grace is a wonderful one that lets you get out of melee quickly. Hero's Defiance can keep you alive when you shouldn't be.
I vastly prefer the lay on hands item over the smite bracers; +2d6 to both lay (and channel in a liberal reading) is a really really powerful item. It's the same 16k.
I would have probably gone the mythic vital strike line for you as it is more damage if your DM allows you to use move actions as swifts - Litany of Righteousness + Mythic Improved Vital Strike + Smite = dead thing 9/10 times.
I probably would have picked a Oath against Fiends or Oath of Vengeance (or both) as bonding your weapon is pointless with Radiance (I'm 99% sure you can't modify it at all). Ghost touch and seeking arrows are a good investment though. I'm a fan of Oath of Vengeance + Sacred Servant so you can 1/week a cohort in that shores up your weaknesses; at this level you can bring in a 12HD outsider (or half-celestial cleric or smth if you please). Liberation is a wonderful domain for you but following Erastil you'd probably want Community (as the 8th level power is bonkers on a paladin and mythic prayer is fun if you can spare the path/feat and Fate's Favored makes that and/or divine power insane).
Oh, and a paladin without Fey Foundling (+2 per die healed by magical healing incoming) just makes me super sad.

Smite Bracers are 11k and for an archer Damage>Defenses all day every day, twice on sunday. If he was standing on the front lines with a sword, shield, and the right feats then yes the LoH bracelets are good additions. But not when you're supposed to be in the back line full attacking every round from a distance.

First in Mythic Wrath of the Righteous your first path ability as a paladin should be Mythic Smite. No need for extra oaths when you can smite 15+ times a day. The OP has a weird house rule where nothing can overcome DR/epic except the proper weapon. (ouch as that neuters smite and a lot of mythic abilities that say they Bypass all DR.)
Second Yes you can bond radiance. Currently it is a +4 adaptive Holy Bow. Being at his current level he can put up to +3 more enchantment effects on it. Making it a +5 adaptive, Holy, Axiomatic Long Bow. Radiance is also Legendary Item so he can not take the Legendary Item Universal Path ability.
At 5th level, this spirit grants the weapon a +1 enhancement bonus. For every three levels beyond 5th, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +6 at 20th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon,stacking with existing weapon bonuses to a maximum of +5, or they can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: axiomatic, brilliant energy, defending, disruption, flaming, flaming burst, holy, keen, merciful, and speed.
I would have probably gone the mythic vital strike line for you as it is more damage if your DM allows you to use move actions as swifts - Litany of Righteousness + Mythic Improved Vital Strike + Smite = dead thing 9/10 times.
You do know he is a Archer right? I'd rather have Full-attack of smite on every arrow mixed with mythic attack abilities. Yes Mythic Vital strike is a Beast BUT its more for a melee type or cross bow user.
Also some languages as your litanies are language dependent. Maybe a +2 Int ioun stone at some point with linguistics in it?
For 8k I would rather get permanency Tongues for 7,500gp and save the 500gp and speak EVERY language.

Not if you're dead. The defenses of an archer are nothing close to the defenses of a front line fighter and with the amount of love an archer paladin can spread you'd better believe making a name for yourself is painting a target on your back.
your first path ability as a paladin should be Mythic Smite. No need for extra oaths when you can smite 15+ times a day.
Disagree here. Mythic power as a resource is far more valuable spent on things like Hierophant spontaneously casting the paladin spell list or keeping yourself alive in a mythic game especially since the healer should only really ever be catching you in the occasional channel since you have your own source of healing. If your GM isn't modifying the enemies to account for the woeful lack of optimization on Paizo's part then fine, then sure Mythic Smite is fine killing them rather than weathering them. But if there's anything close to a mythic-appropriate challenge you're far better not exaggerating your already overwhelming damage strength and instead reinforcing your ability to avoid save-or-sucks, no-save-just-sucks and the like.
The OP has a weird house rule where nothing can overcome DR/epic except the proper weapon. (ouch as that neuters smite and a lot of mythic abilities that say they Bypass all DR.)
Sucks, but happens. They're probably reading it like the Jabberwock's DR but it's not hard to get a weapon over +6 enhancement worth of abilities at this level. Really shouldn't be relevant for a paladin archer especially since you can just take Clustered Shots.
Second Yes you can bond radiance.
Yeah, this was my mistake - my GM read the "can't take upgradeable" line to mean that you couldn't improve it at all because lol artifact. Has since been corrected.
You do know he is a Archer right? I'd rather have Full-attack of smite on every arrow mixed with mythic attack abilities. Yes Mythic Vital strike is a Beast BUT its more for a melee type or cross bow user.
Definitely disagree here. The mythic vital strike line gives him the option of getting "out of the fire" while still getting access to all of his damage. I understand the comment on melee/crossbow vs. bow for action economy but there really are times when the archer does in fact need to move and losing damage because of that sucks. Also multiplying smite damage for first hit on an outsider across a mythic vital strike is pretty nausea-inducing.
For 8k I would rather get permanency Tongues for 7,500gp and save the 500gp and speak EVERY language.
Except half the things in the mod cast dispel magic or greater dispel at will. Again, if your GM doesn't use the SLAs of the monsters then whatever, go for it. But I'm used to playing with GMs that are used to playing with CO veterans. I tend to build characters (and suggest that others build characters) with redundancies rather than squeezing fragile bonuses by pinching coppers.
