Just Dinged 50: Now What?

[Githiun]

Hiya everyone!

So I'm getting close to hitting level 50(PLD) and as most people probably My goal is to begin gearing for end-game raiding. My question is what should my piority be?

What's the best path to gear? I'm not one of those peopel that just jumps in over his head where he shouldn't be tanking just because it's a PUG and i'll probably never see those people again. I want to be respectful to the others and do right by them.

Should I farm first for Darklight gear, should I go for an upgraded weapon. Just curious what people think the correct path is.

Thanks for the help.

CM Speed Runs - great way to pug for fast ToP
WP for the Darklight shield - BiS shield till relic
Get either ifrit or garuda sword. (I had far better luck with garuda dropping the sword then Ifrit)
AK runs - ToP/ToM - Also great way to get green gear that is almost on par with Darklight.

I generally pug CM and run with my FC through AK. AK just is not fun when you get paired through the duty finder with a player who's lack of ability requires everyone else to carry them through.
