I just returned to ffxi about a week ago and I notice on the auction house there's really no gear anymore ?

Between how fast you level now, being able to buy weapons and armor from Records of Eminence NPC, and Trusts always being your level, upgrading armor every few levels isn't a requirement anymore, and even upgrading every 10 levels, a piece of armor won't last you more than a few hours. As such, people have stopped selling it on the AH because the game gives it away via RoE and treasure caskets from Fields and Grounds of Valor areas. Someone is going to level past a piece of armor so fast, they may not check the AH before they don't need it anymore, and the majority of the servers have leveled the jobs they want to level.

Can't stress what he said regarding RoE enough. I've leveled three jobs, PLD, WAR and PUP from 1-99, and only used sparks to purchase the equipment. The speed you gain levels, and sparks, is very different from what you most likely remember from whenever you played last. Make sure you have trust NPCs, and it makes it a lot easier.
