As a fresh 50 tank I have no idea in which direction to go with gearing. Obviously there is random drops but I'm referring more to the tomes/relic side of it. I'm not in a raiding FC so I'm essentially limited to WP/CM/Praetorium and as gear gets better AK and so on. I'm mostly just wondering if anyone has tips on which pieces to get first with my tomes. Does it really make a difference or should I just upgrade my worst pieces. I know I need 900 for my relic but i figure by the time i get to that point I'll have accumulated double that or more. I was looking at going 1. Chest/Head combo 2. Purchase Relic item or Gloves 3. Leg/feet Combo

Also what kind of progression can i look at with fresh gear?
Am I stuck to WP/CM/Praetorium or can I goto AK/Chimera/Hydra and HM's

Any advice or guidance would be great, thank you.
