Not sure how well that would work, some people literally don't have any better gear.

Ishgard has 115 weapons for sale even if you need someone to get them for you (Not sure if Ishgard still can't be accessed until post patch story).

Even if you're a fresh player there really is no excuse to not have something to show for it by the time you reach the end of patch 2.5's storyline when the game simply gives you five pieces of item level 90 gear after the lv50 job quest. An item level 120 shield is only 120 tomes while the sword is 380 totaling a max of 500 tomes that you shouldn't only be able to easily reach prior to the Chrysalis since you're getting first time bonus all the way through, but you should literally be swimming in tomes by the time you reach that point in the story.
