Returning player with a couple of questions re gear and weapon

[Carvaka]

Returning to the game after a long absence. Currently 170 gear, I do have a lvl 60 WAR tho. Just a couple of questions.. [Answered]

Level 60 is still the limit?

In terms of gear progression, best place to start?

I loved the zodiac grind (Im a nutter), so Anima weapon is the next line, I am planning on doing that first to get my skills back, is the final anima weapon competitive? Doesn't need to be bis, just close enough to make it worthwhile.

Feel free to help with any other tips :-)
