Fresh level 60 white mage needs gearing help!

[Squintina]

I wouldn't bother with the 60 relic from a gearing perspective.

There is a shire weapon (and an augmented version as well). If you've got no problem farming poetics, get that. Hunts are a good way to get poetics and you can even use centurio gear for whatever you're missing. I'd recommend joining a hunt Linkshell if you haven't already.

I wore my augmented ironworks gear until I could get (augmented) shire, which I then wore all the way up until 70 for verity/creation, unless a dungeon happened to give an upgrade.
The game does throw gear at you as you level ,but you can just sell those and stay on the augmented gear. Never had trouble with it.

Thanks for the advice! I just have one question. What is a hunt linkshell? I can't find anything on the wiki about it.

Basically just a group chat that calls out when an A or S rank hunt is found. Some of them have people that will call out the special FATEs as well(usually the achievement FATEs). If you are on a map and see someone shouting something about a certain monster being found, or an A/S rank being found, you can usually ask to join a LS to get in on the hunting.

Okay I see.... there is so much I haven't done yet. It's kind of overwhelming lol.

I've been playing for almost 3 years now, and there is still tons of stuff I haven't done. Most of it side quests, but it is still stuff to be done...eventually.

Yeah a linkshell is a chat group. There are various linkshells for many things (and of course the game does a horrible job of teaching about them, a low level sidequest to tell you they exist, and then that's it). A hunt linkshell is a chat where people call out hunts (usually via macros).

There no linkshell searching. Best way to get into one is to ask your FC if any of them are in a hunt LS that can invite you, or the novice network if you're still in there, and if you really have to, you can try to shout in major cities or populated maps.

The other way, which does work, but will be a bit hard if you have no LS already, is if you do see a hunt being called in a map, join it (Party Finder -> Hunt), then before/after the monster is pulled, shout or ask your party for a LS invite.

LS are limited in members so if you do want to participate in hunts for poetics/centurio to get your gear, you'll probably want to join 2-4 of them.
