Returning player needin some guidance

[Keola]

I lvled a white mage to 60 before quiting and just resubed to play summoner. I have a few questions as even before when I played WM I didn't really get into it far enough.
The first question is what should I do as soon as I hit max lvl? I'm guessing run dungeons until I can get into the raid?
And since there's alot of time left till next patch I want to get started on relic weapon for fun. I know I have lvl 50 relic weapon on my white mage but where do I start with summoner relic weapon?

Any tips and advices will be greatly appreciated... the more detailed, the better it is for me...
Thanks in advance!

1. When you reach max level, you should grind to get to the appropriate item level to do current content.
There's a lot of way to get gear now like grinding for Tomes of Scripture, doing Alexander 9-12, doing Sophia EX, getting your Palace of the Dead 235 and 255 weapons, doing your relic quest, even doing the Weeping City of Mhach for 230 gear or buying crafted 250 gear.

To do the end game stuff, you'll need an ilvl of:
-At least 230 for the normal Alexander, the Creator (floors 9-12)
-For the Savage versions of Alexander you'll need at least 245 for 9, 250 for 10, 255 for 11 and 12.
-235 for Sophia EX
-210 for the current EX roulette dungeons
-205 for Weeping City
-For Palace of the Dead, you can unlock it as soon as you have a class/job at level 17.

2. To unlock the HW relic quest, you'll have to do the quest An Unexpected Proposal that you get from Rowena in Idyllshire. You do not need to have any of 2.0's Relic quests done or unlocked to start this one up, I believe.
If you have your WHM's Zeta weapon, you can trade that in to skip the first grind of the quest for any job's relic.

Thank you for the reply. i dont think i have the zeta for WH, so starting fresh would be my best choice for the relic weapon.

I did run a few POTD and currently have +55 armor and +45~ ish weapon saved up. i think someone told me I need 90? for 1 item?

For the 235 item, you need 30 for Armor and Weapon, each.
For the 255 item, you need the 235 item and 60 for Armor and Weapon.

Assuming you have the Heavensward hunts unlocked, if you can get in a handful of those you can buy the ilvl 200 gear for centurio seals in the Forgotten Knight. That will also give you scripture and lore (as should POTD). The lore tomestones will get you the 230 gear.

If you can tolerate endless POTD runs your most efficient approach is probably to run that for lore to get the 230 gear, the 255 weapon, and fill in with scripture gear (260) as available.
For the 255 POTD weapon I recommend saving up to +90 all at once. Levels 51-100 are more interesting that 1-50 imo and they go faster with a better stats.
Once you have some lore gear you can run Void Ark and then Weeping City to get tokens to upgrade it to 240.
Your next step is getting to ilvl 230+ to get into Alexander Creator for 250 gear. Alex Creator and scripture are both currently limited per week, so this is where things slow down. If you have enough gil there is also crafter 250 gear.
The only way to currently get gear over 260 is Alexander Creator Savage which requires ilvl 245 to even set foot in. Without the crafted gear you could still theoretically reach that in a week - 255 POTD weapon, scripture accessory, at least 2 pieces of Alex Creator gear, and everything else upgraded lore.

Thank you so much for all the reply. I am 9 short of getting to 90 and cleared upto 100th floor. It's not exactly fun but I guess its better than grinding dungeons for levels especially when I can use 60 skills =D
