Best(fast) way to increase ilvl

I just hit 60 last night and currently i'm ilvl 143. I noticed on the MB there is green ilvl 220 gear which is pretty high. As far as I understand there was a recent ilvl increase making 200+ more accessible. Ill not have the gil to outright buy the 220 stuff in the forseeable future...So whats the best way to catch up? Like are there quests w/ ilvl 180 and where etc. I want to start working on getting my class weapon quick and in a hurry

Just hit 60 myself not to long ago, I used Centurio Seals (you can exchange for weapons, armor, jewelery) (had a bunch from hunt board in Foundation) to get some jewelery) 170 stuff in Foundation, then started doing Roulettes for Allagan Tomestone of Esotericss, weapon, armor, another ring (ilvl 200, in Illy). I think there is a armor / weapon vendor in Azys Lla, but that was only ilvl 150.

The Allagan Tomestone of Lore ones you get has a vendor with 220 ilvl stuff in Illy as well.

Not sure if that helps some or not :o

http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Duty_Roulette <-- kinda useful list on what rewards what as well. As far as Lore and Esos go.

Hit 60, buy any 150s to replace anything below 150 at azy lla, then unlock lvl 60 duties, run them, spend eso on accessories, run alex, replace left side as you go, spend eso on wep, run ark once you've beaten alex, replace your chest spend eso on pants(or vice versa) roulette/pvp to cap lore, continue replacing non ark pieces with eso, use your farthing to upgrade weapon, run alex midas, youre caught up.

Use centurio seals to buy i170 items for a somewhat decent base (extremely easy with as fast as you can gain these things) then once you get i180 jump onto alex gordias nomral to get some i190 suppliments (you need to clear it anyway, so why not) and in the mean time run lvl 60 dungeons and dailies for i195 gear, eso i200 and lore i230 gear. Then after you get high enough start running alex midas for i220 to supplement your i230 gear.

Did it on my newest alt and it took me a week to get high enough to not have anyone talk crud about me being undergeared for anything. Literally went from i160 to i205 in a week with surprisingly little work.
