Picking back up from 50

[Maeka]

I have read over the guide, and started slowly working on leveling everything. A bit stuck on the 55 quest due to being unable to hq it but I'll get there I guess.

Should I go and worry about the script gear ? I wasn't sure if I should just level things to 60 best I can and craft gear, maybe buy some if its cheap.

I compared scrip gear and it is VERY worth it.
Lv60 Red Scrip gear is better than Lv62 NQ. And given how long it will take you to get your crafters up to 60 via Moogles, you can easily get tools (and only tools IMO unless you really have extra scrips) for all of your DoH classes.

But you need to unlock Custom Deliveries (Zhloe Aliapoh's). These will give you scrips fast. Right now, I'm Rank 3 with Zhloe and I get 100 scrip out of one turn-in and I can do 6 of those per IRL week.

That's 600 scrips. It takes 25 scrips to buy 1 Blue Scrip Token (yes, you use RED scrips to buy BLUE tokens now). It takes 12 to buy one tool, so that's 300. That means I can buy one DoH's classes Primary AND Secondary per week. I'll get even more scrips when I rank Zhloe up again (you seem to earn 10-20 scrips per turn-in every time you rank up).

At this rate, I should easily have enough time before Moogles get me to 60 on all DoH classes. Easy. I might even have some left over for buying the left side of the equipment too which also looks to be powerful enough to carry me into SB crafting.

EDIT: You could also turn in Red Scrip deliveries for Rowena's and get even more scrips, 20-50 depending on whether or not anything is starred. But, you have to craft the stuff yourself and as you get higher in level this gets harder and harder to do with the NQ gear that the moogles sell you.
