What Do Next?

I do things in a completely different order, still never even set foot in several of the 50 dungeons.

I usually buy some of those i55 wolf accessories since they're pretty cheap (at least on my server) as well as the base weapon my relic needs and dive right into CT. It's easy to clear, and with so many people your low gear shouldn't matter a whole lot. It drops awesome armor and a nice pile of myth tomes. Once I get the armor I jump into ifrit HM and farm for a weapon. Once I get an Ifrit weapon, I go start my relic quest. You have to give up the base weapon in the quest so I sequence break a little here by doing Ifrit first, so I have something to use until I finish the relic. I go straight through the quest to grab my relic and immediately upgrade it to zenith with the tomes I got from CT, with that gear I would jump into the newer hard modes to get the darklight accessories to replace the crap I bought as well as a good amount of soldiery tomes.

This way is a lot more of a rush through content. But, I don't feel the need to do the basic 50 instances for gear with how easy CT is. Though you'll need to do everything at least once to get your roulettes unlocked anyway. Bixby's suggestion is probably the smarter way to go about it.

But that's just my two cents on what I do when I get to 50 on a class, even when I got my first 50.

I disagree with Bixby on one thing though. Titan HM is so not easier than Brayflox/Halatali/Lost City HM, especially if you're using duty finder. Try and get a premade group for Titan HM when doing your relic quest and hopefully save yourself a big headache. If you get stuck on Titan, because a lot of people do, go do Bray/Hala/Lost City and ugprade your accessories. And go try it again. Don't beat your head against the wall on Titan, make sure you're having fun :P

Y'know, you're right. Dunno what I was thinking. Ficksed.

As a general thing, I feel like endgame is really murky now. In 2.0 and 2.1 it felt like progression was a lot clearer, and it was easier to suggest a list of stepping stones. There's so much overlap now, and such a range of available players (iLevel and experience) that it's just feels like a big, soupy mess. You jump into whatever you can and if you succeed, great, if not, try again or try something else.

Not saying it's better or worse. Just totally can't blame anyone for feeling lost when they hit 50.

I actually quite like it like that. I can just go jump into whatever I want. There's always people to run stuff with and I'm not bound to a single path to get through it. It feels less like a step by step chore, and more of a, it doesn't matter what you do just go do it, have fun and still make progress. You only get lost if you look for a path that isn't there.

Just to throw my 2 cents again on Ehaytes suggestion. Id say spend Myth tomes "willy nilly" after upgrading your relic (which takes 900). Weapon damage is usually a top priority when gearing up. Chances are accessories will be where you'll be weakest, and accessories just so happen to give the least amount of stats.

Plus, Darklight accessories from running hard modes, zenith weapon, and CT armor is more than enough to jump into Coil.
