Greetings everyone, I hope you have had success in playing FFXIV:ARR. (If not I am sorry to hear it). Any who I recently got to 50 with my Warrior, I completed my class quests up to getting the chest armor (I think that may be the end but since I don't have the weapon I'd assume I'm missing something, a relic reborn maybe?)

Alas I am stuck! I know that the AF armor isn't the best, I see that the crafted heavy Darksteel gear is better, along with the darklight, and then of course the Behemoth and Odin gear. I know these are out there but where do I start, any insight and direction would be greatly appreciated by both myself and I'm sure the many others having this question.

Currently 50 with AF armor, need to know which armorset to go for next and how to achieve that, thank you.

ALSO before I forget, what can I do with the AF armor. The highest instance I have completed with it so far as been Aurum Vale, learning the fights was the hard part.
