Sparks weapons and af upgrade armour Follow

I'm thinking about returning to the game but as its been so long and as I didn't have a r/m/e when I left I'm wondering how difficult it's going to be to get back into things. Obviously all my gear is outdated and I've no idea about seekers things. I was never an elitest player but did used to keep my gear as good as possible. From just looking at some of the new things they've added record of eminence looks like the easiest thing to get me back into things and I can do it solo. So basically my question is how good is the upgraded af equipment? And more importantly how good is the record of eminence weapons?

Depending on the job, pieces of the Lv. 119 armor ends up being the new best for TP and/or WS, or the best to finish casting in. Some of the pieces still end up being relatively useless, but some end up being best by far. As for the Eminence weapons, while they're not the best of the best, they're still extremely high tier weapons, and should definitely be picked up if you can't readily get any of the Delve boss or Ark Angel weapons or anything like that.

People still do voidwatch, and heavy metal plates are still out there, but just about as rare as they always have been. The price hasn't come down from 80-100k/ea.

After you get RoE gear, I'd probably start with SKCNM's (to get reforged AF) and Yorcia Skirmish (for the Skirmish armor). Ease your way into Delve and AA battles, they're both a bit higher difficulty and require some coordination and such that you might be a bit rusty at.
