Current BIS for Bard

[Ranzan]

(Fresh lvl50 bard here) I have a few questions to the seasoned bards here. First what would be the better bow between the Artemis Zenith or Elfin bow? Secondly i just hit 50 what would be the biggest upgrade for bard from AF armor?

Forget Zenith, you can actually settle with Artemis Bow, or better yet, Titan Bow, then crawl your way upto Allagan Bow or Elfin Bow.

Regular Artemis Bow is enough to get you through the endgame raid just fine.

Max your Grand Company rank and get the lv 55 bow from there. Grind out your Darklight gear immediately, and don't forget to get your weekly piece of Crystal Tower gear! If you grind your tomes for Darklight in Haukke Manor and Copperbell Mines hard modes, you can get some lv 60 pieces to fill in until you have the darklight. After you have full darklight (any darklight piece is replaceable with the Crystal Tower loot) and your GC bow, start doing your relic quest. After that, you're ready to start raiding.

For myth purchases, the BIS piece you can get from myth are listed above, any of those are fine purchases.
