    Also, when you get Level 50, do the Main Scenario Roulette (once per day) once you've unlocked it.

    You get 300 Tomestones of Poetics, and it only takes about 2,200 tomestones for a full set of Level 50 gear (sans weapon, which you can buy in Ishgard or the Market Board) which will last you through the first two dungeons.

    Alternatively, or maybe in addition to that, all Heavensward and Stormblood Leveling Dungeons (51-59 and 61-69) are guaranteed to drop 1 piece of gear that goes straight to your inventory (nobody can roll on it, you automatically receive it). So, what you can do, is keep running, say, Dusk Vigil until you fill your entire equipment screen with that gear (though that's kinda overkill). You could also build up 2,000 Tomestones and then buy Level 60 gear in Idyllshire when you get there, that way the moment you ding Level 60, you'll have an almost-full suit of 260 gear from that vendor which will give you a nice leg up for when you are doing the Level 60 cap dungeons and fights.

    So if you end up in The Vault and you're not geared well enough, go back to Sohm Al and run that a few times to get gear. It will never give you duplicates, and you might have other gear drop that you can roll Need on as well.

    EDIT: Also, since you're a healer, do the Trials Roulette once per day too -- oftentimes you'll bump into Newbies and anytime that happens, that's another 75-100 Tomestones on top of the 15-20 the Trial would normally give, and you can also get 50-60 tomestones out of Level 50/60 Dungeon queue.

    EDIT2: You could also level up to Level 50 in Palace of the Dead (in Quarrymill) to Level 50 and get an FC person to drive you up to Mor Dhona with a passenger mount and you can buy Level 50 Tomestone Gear to skip the whole gearing up thing altogether. Suppose you could also maybe do the same thing with Idyllshire once you get access to Ishgard; have someone fly you to Idyllshire and buy the Lv60 gear there, and then level up to Level 60 in PotD. That way you'll be Item Level Sync'd in pretty much every dungeon and trial you run until almost the end of Heavensward.
