I am level 10 now, I've heard tell of guildleves. There doesn't seem to be a lancer guild in Limsa Lominsa or I'm blind, where do I go to get these?

Second Question: I'm still using the gear I was given at lvl1, all of the merchants seem to only have the lvl1 weapon as well and nobody is selling it in the Markets. Where do I go to get new gear or can you only find it?

Thirdly, do you only get crafting recipes through levequests?

Thanks!
