I just started and I'm so lost - Help!

okay i gotcha, so what should I do for armor then? basically i've been just using armor from the quests to level up archery, but seeing as that won't be an option if I go up with another class, what would I do in that situation.. dungeon armor I'm guessing?

There are lots of options for grabbing armor. Vendors, the market boards, dungeons, your Grand Company, stuff you've saved from leveling archer (if you're leveling another non-tank Disciple of War; at low levels, it's all the same and interchangeable enough to reuse), rewards from levequests, rewards from other quests if you don't use every single one in the whole world up. The vendors in the starting cities have stuff for the beginning levels, and most aetheryte camps have a vendor that sells armor and weapons for around that camp's level (with a focus on gear for the classes near their cities before 35ish).

Crafting. Just saying...
The armor you get from quests is what you can buy from the normal vendors and is the lowest level of armor. You don't want to rely on that anyway. High quality crafted, aetherial (from leves/dungeons), and green dungeon drops are all better for the same level.
