Returned after a considerable break, advice on where to focus/start?

Also, if you have even the slightest interest in aesthetic things, the devs recently released four new dyes: Pure White, Pure Black, Metallic Silver, and Metallic Gold, each of which is attainable only from quick ventures and only if the retainer you send out on a quick venture is i80-equipped.

For gearing up, you first focus should be capping Soldiery to get weathered gear, upgrade items to take them to 110 you can get from Syrcus tower, If your aim is coil then you'll need to base your acquisitions of gear with Sol around Accuracy. If not, then accuracy cap isn't a major issue. If main is MNK, then I would recomend aiming for Gloam chest then legs first. Get your sands from either hunts or Syrcus tower and upgrade, will take 2 weeks of Soldiery per though as they are 825 per.

But, 2,4 is pretty much around the corner, i'm guessing in 2-3 weeks ish. Where we will get a new Tomestone and chances are weekly cap for Sol will be removed as with Myth which will make it easier to "catch up".

Very helpful. I unlocked ST and did a run to get back into the feel of things. I didn't loot as I'm aware of the weekly limit and haven't explored the various gear options that upgrade from what I have currently but that gives me a great starting point.
