Re: gearing as you go.

At a bare minimum, if someone wants to minimize the amount of gil they spend for gear to supplement whatever dungeon gear they manage to get, I recommend getting a full tomestone set at levels ending in zero and buying HQ crafted gear at levels ending in 5. Between the levels ending from 0-5 you won't even need dungeon gear since the tome gear is better than dungeon gear, and from 5-9 the 5 gear supplemented with dungeon drops as obtained is strong enough to get through content well enough even with minimal dungeon drops. The exception I would make to this rule of thumb is buying the HQ weapon for your level from 5-9 if you didn't get the dungeon drop from the previous tier since weapon has a huge impact on performance for any job.
