Priorities for newbies?

[Sabata84]

Hi there,

I'm pretty new to FFXIV, I got heavensward and I'm on my way power leveling to get to 60 as soon as I can as as a summoner before I focus on any other classes and jobs. As a general player I know the best gear in the game is earned from raids. My general question is how would I be able to get into raids with other people and what other priorities and statistics, currencies should I be earning by the time I hit cap. What gear should I hit at 60 to be prepared for raids or to be a candidate that people would want me.
