Gear after main story completed

[Quasihemdem]

Ok so I just finished the main story and im kinda lost on where to go for gear after that. I have the 4 blue pieces (also are these called af1 gear?) that you get from the main story. But i keep hearing about af2 and relic gear. I dont know where to get these or how I might go about grinding these out. I know tomes are used for one of them but not sure. Any info would be really helpful.

do endgame dungeons maybe? just an idea ^^

Revanant toll has a lot of items you can buy with currency from the lvl 50 dungeons. Also sells AF+1. You can start your relic quest back in vesper bay once you finish your job quests.

Do class/job quests for your job.

Start the relic weapon quest by talking to N. Ironheart outside the Waking Sands in Vesper Bay.

Go to Revenant's Toll and look at the trade in NPCs by Rowena.

Spam Castrum Meri- or Praetorium until your brain melts.

Do an Aurum Vale to unlock Amdapor Keep.

Sit in Amdapor Keep queue until you fall asleep.

Do Hard Mode Primals for weapons.
