Early 60 Bard weapon choices?

[Navir]

I'm currently a bard level 58. Since I'll be hitting 60 soon, I was wondering what would be the weapon (and optionally gear) that I should aim as soon as I hit 60. I'm excluding weapons that require heavy duty grinding, and lengthy updating processes.
In other word, what are the most 60 newbie friendly weapons for Bard?

The eso weapon would be the fastest weapon to get right away. You need 495 eso tomes i believe, and you can get a drop from Void Ark that allow you to upgrade the weapon.
After this you can start working on EX Primals, Sephiroth being about the only one that drops slightly relevant weapon until you can get a lore weapon which takes 7 weeks

Easiest thing to do for your first lv 60 would be to do some easy hunts (the daily and weekly ones) from the hunt board in idyllshire and turn them in at Yolaine in the forgotten knight in Ishgard for the 170 bow and you can buy the doman whetstone from Ardolain next to her to upgrade it to 180 in Idyllshire. You can also do this to get easy 170-180 body pieces and accessories to start you off (body piece upgrades use urushi and accessories use raw urushi both also bought at Ardolain). You can get better weapons as you do dungeons to unlock the roulettes too.

Yeah, just get your 200 bow. Once you get a clear in void ark, you can use the free item it drops to get a gobdip item from the lady who does the wondrous sundries stuff in Idyllshire. Definitely do not recommend going after 180 gear unless you're super opposed to doing dungeons for some reason

That suggestion of mine was more for getting them a starting endgame bow for if it is their first 60 and they still need to go through and do some of the early dungeons before they will have enough esos for the eso bow

[Maero]

Well if no access to eso yet, the Baldur Bow from neverfun would be fine, lol

Since this is your first 60, I'd second the Raijodo and Berimbau weapons.



Once you get either, I'd recommend grinding for an Anima weapon next, either Gandiva (The Bow) and/or another one for another class, the reason why is despite the grind you can get everything you need for the 3rd and 4th Phases before taking the respective quest, and once you get the Luminous crystals you can quit the quest and save them for another weapon if you so desire. Or you can just farm Midas for 7 Weeks/Get into a Raid Static and clear Midas Savage, for the next powerful Bow
