    Starting up again - What gear to focus on?

    Hey everyone,
    I re-activated my account a couple weeks ago, but I've just been doing crafting and not much to progress my Bard gear-wise. I unsubbed back in December when darklight/AF2 was the main focus, but I'm wondering if I should go back and focus on getting my AF2 through tombstone grinding or if there's any other gear sets I should pursue right now. Any advice would be appreciated ^^

    P.S. right now I'm using mostly darklight and have my relic bow +1

    As someone in a similar position, I would THINK the Crystal Tower gear would be your next best step to work towards after your Darklight, but that may be wrong. There are definitely higher leveled sets after the CT gear, but that just seems like the next step on your way to those haha.

    If I'm incorrect, someone please feel free to correct me.

    the weekly lockout on first Coil was removed back in patch 2.2, and an echo was added to it also, so quickest way to gear up is in first coil, with the odd piece from Syrcus tower you can get which are i100, crystal tower is i80 gear, its an upgrade sure but not really required for getting up to at least i90, also the newest 4 man dungeons drop i80 as well, so you should run those before crystal tower (24-man queues, no thanks)

    OP,this is 100% better advice than I gave. I would listen to Zamii, as that makes much more sense that what I suggested! I'll also be following this advice!
