50 myth & 45 soldiery. Has some decent gear drop as well but it's rare to come by. An alternative if you need temporary gear is crystal tower (can't check your lodestone if you have or not, it's being funky .-.) CT gives 100 myth and 10 sold btw ^^

As for skipping gear levels, I would say it depends on what content you want to do :) if you can make do with what you have now then you're fine ^^
