Better jewelry for bard at 50?

Hey everyone,
My bard hit 50 a week or so ago and so far my gear is okay, I got Ifrit's Bow last night, and then all my other gear is the level 45 class gear, my 50 choral shirt, and then one or two items are 50 from dungeons. My issue is jewelry and where to get it as right now it's all like 39-42 or so. On the market board the only 50 necklaces, earrings etc are all from dungeons so they are insane expensive, and then there might be 1-2 level 50 items that aren't, but only give maybe 1 or 2 more points on dex compared to what I have but are still expensive, then it's all under 50. Aside from the task of leveling goldsmith to 50 and doing it all myself, where should I be getting this stuff? The dungeons don't seem to drop it only armor? It's hurting my average item level. Thanks!!!

by doing lv50 dungeons, you get allagan tomestones of soldiery/poetics. Use them to get gear in Mor Dhona

That' is the best way, as those will be the best accessories. However, if you're short on tomes, there are many dungeons that have free accessories too. Halatali HM, Brayflox HM and Lost City have Darklight accessories which are ilvl 70. The new dungeons, Keeper of the Lake, WP HM and Amp Keep HM all have free 100 accessories.

Thanks so much!!

I don't know what you mean by "On the market board the only 50 necklaces, earrings etc are all from dungeons so they are insane expensive" since there's absolutely no loot from level 50+ dungeons that is tradeable or sellable at all.

I don't know what the term for it is, when you go on the market board all the gear at the top that's highlighted in green vs pink or no highlight, where from my experience the only items I own that are highlighted in green have been drops from dungeons, but not sure. Either way I mean on the market board there's always like 5 or so that are at the top highlighted in green with the best stats, but like 1.5 million gil or something insane high, and then as soon as the green highlighting stops, there's only a handful of normal 50 gear most still high enough like 100k but only giving a minor stat increase over what I have and then it's 49 and lower. Where as armor and gear seems to have tons of level 50 itesms on there.

You might have looked for i110 crafted accessories ^^ check i90 and i70 and also ask in your FC for a goldsmith to help out. In our Fc it is usual to give evey newly 50 a lil push with crafted pieces once they mention dependant on what content we aim for :)
You dont need the i110 crafted bits as youll soon "outlevel" them with the above recommended tomestone gear (check character tab: "currency" to see your state, accessories are at 375 soldiery or poetics available) the i110 pieces are rather for raiders to optimize certain stats without being too dependant on RNG.

Thanks! I bought last night a necklace using the tomes so that helped as well. The only issue I have is with my HP, is it just gear with more vitality that I need to increase it? I'm avg item level 59 now but only 2970 for HP. When I do Ifrit hard mode which I really love, I die every single time near the end, even though I pretty much have the mechanics all down. The rest of the party is always like 5500-6000 for HP so I just seem really low. Not sure if it's normal for my class or what not, but is there anything else I should be doing to get more HP?

For non-tanks, pretty much only the left side gives Vitality (HP). It'll pretty much come naturally as you replace your left side, especially chest and legs.

Not helpful to you now but good to note, crafted jewelry can be melded with +Vitality materia for more HP, though that's usually only necessary if you're trying to get world firsts on a new patch or something.

Great thanks so much!
