What's the point of getting that job appropriate gear at the end of a leveling dungeon when the dungeon is level 17 awarding level 17 gear and you're level 41?
Why do you need level 41 gear if you're still doing level 20 quests?

If you're talking about just the optional dungeons, that level 17 gear (or the Brand New gear from Hall of the Novice) is fine for Halatali (level 22-ish); which is okay for Qarn (35); which is good for Cutter's Cry (38); which is good for Dzemael Darkhold (44); which is okay for doing your 45 job quests; and combining Darkhold and job gear is fine for Aurum Vale. So yeah, you can get by on dungeon gear if you're short on gil. It's not optimal, especially the jump from Halatali to Qarn, but low-level gear generally has such small increments of improvement as you go anyway that most people won't really notice unless you're a no-cooldowns tank, in which case playing poorly is a bigger problem than gear.
