Good point with the attribute allocation. From a gear perspective most Disciple of War gear equippable by ARC/BRD below level 50 has stats suitable for PGL/MNK as well and that's definitely the case up to level 15 PGL. Like if something has Dex + 2, it probably has something like Str + 2. So if you held onto any lower level gear you can probably reuse it. But- I just noticed you're on the same server as me so I can craft some HQ (high-quality) gear for your PGL that has better stats than the NQ (normal quality) version we get from quests and NPC sellers which should help you get through the hunting log faster (since you're better able to fight enemies a bit above your level) and just give it to you. I have display names turned off by default but if you send me a Tell or Friend Request when I'm on I'll know you're there and I can help you out.
