Because it for some reason has not been stickied anywhere and digging through these forums is difficult even with the search function (which most of the time doesn't find me what I'm looking for), I have to ask a question that I'm sure has been asked here before but I haven't seen it yet.

So basically... I know that after the patch, the tomes are gunna change. I'm relatively new and I just got level 50 on my first class a couple weeks ago, and I've seen this question asked in my Free Company a lot and I've seen my leader answer it in a way that made me feel like an idiot.

Question : Is there a point to me getting Darklight now?

Answer : No, just save up your tomes of philosophy so they're converted to myth and buy i90 gear with it. And you'll fill the empty slots with dungeon drops in no time. Darklight is a waste of time now.

Why I feel like an idiot : I've spent the past week getting every left side slot filled with Darklight (i bought i70 crafted for the right side).

I am also kind of confused as to what I've heard from other people. That i70 is basically gunna be i90 (idk what this means). I guess what I'm asking is... Was it a waste of time for me to have been getting my Darklight gear? After the conversion, should I still be farming myth until I get the full i90 myth set and then go for soldiery (basically the same way it has been except with different gear)?

I'm just confused about the way gearing is gunna be afterwards, because I'm still very new to how it even has been now. And if there's a thread about this or a page on another website somewhere, I'd appreciate a link to it and then you can politely tell me to stop polluting the forum and then report this thread.
