This will help a good deal, I'm currently on my first character, if someone didn't tell me to even do the 17.1 quest line (which is boring as all hell really.), I wouldn't even know where to go either since getting gear compared to how quick you level and get access to newer/better gear pools is completely out of balance. I've gotten to lv180 on paradise gear, my first upgrade was a 2 Grace armor pieces.
Added to the matter of getting Grace gear, not sure if I'm missing anything, but it seems like it'll take a really long time to get more grace gear with just 3 dailies with low material payout. I hope this is up for change as well, especially if Grace is considered a mid-tier progression step.
