Several Newbie questions !!!

1. What is the best way to get level 380 gear?
* I can buy materials and ask FC to craft for me?
* Or low Level300 gear is enough if i not plaing to get RAID?

Your best bet will be to purchase materials and ask someone in your FC to craft the gear for you. i300 gear will not be sufficient for level 70 endgame, as there are pieces of content that you will go through that require an item level higher. i380, on the other hand, will last you into some of Shadowbringers’s 70+ content (probably until level 73, at the least).

2. What do i do with unwanted Tombstone of poetic?

If you plan to level any other jobs, Poetics are useful for buying both level 50 and level 60 gear for any other jobs you may want to level. When Shadowbringers releases, level 70 i360 and i390 gear will be purchasable with them.

If you do not plan to level any more jobs, then purchase Demicrystals when you cap and sell them to a vendor. You’ll get roughly 40,000 gil for 2,000 Poetics worth of Demicrystals.

3. What do i do with binding gear and market prohibited gear?
* im not planing doing any crafting any soon
* i already max serpent seal capacity

Sell them directly to a vendor for a small gain. If you have 100% spiritbond, you can Convert them into materia to sell. Any green, pink, or blue gear can be turned into your Grand Company for company seals (and FC credits).

4. is RAID have story related to main story line or past?
* for example, story about Bahamut calamity, the Ascians, the dragons, Hydaelyn.....
* i would like to know every bit of story if could, i start playing FFXIV because rumour said story is sooo gooood (its true) and i very glad i did it.

The first 8-man raid (Binding Coil of Bahamut) does tie into the story following the Calamity that ended the original 1.0 game. It is probably the only one that will tie directly into the lore you experience repeatedly throughout the main story. Do note, however, that you will not be able to participate in this content in duty Finder, as it is considered to be ARR's version of a Savage raid. You will be able to put up Party Finders to unsync, or get 2-3 friends to take you through each Turn (13 in total, though you can skip Turn 3 as it gives you nothing in terms of reward or lore).

The Heavensward raid (Alexander) is not referenced much in the story, nor is the Stormblood raid (Omegascape). However, they both have stories of their own that are worth viewing if you really want to know them.
