. Escha Zi'Tah and Ru'Aun both have some content that you could solo for some decent gear improvements.
I highly doubt an average person would be able to skip from 117 gear to Escha Zi'tah soloing...
If you're soloing focus on the Rhapsodies and Ambuscade. Get as many hallmarks as you can. Even if you don't now want the sets of gear on offer they are decent enough that you will want them eventually if you ever level those jobs. Even the NQ are better by a long shot than a LOT of other moderately accessible gear. And the capes are amazing so you're going to want to work on one for your chosen job.
Run around Adoulin & wilderness areas and get your warps. If you see people shouting for Yorcia Alluvion Skirmish (Yorcia Skirmish [A]) try to join in if you can. That's probably the most accessible gear you can get your hands on if you can get into a group.
Do your CoP missions - it gates a lot of content, even modern content. You'd be shocked at how much content is blocked by not doing these missions.
Look over the 119 relic and 119 artifact armor. Pick the best of each set and work on getting a full set of 119 gear. Some of these pieces aren't even particularly better than some of the 117 stuff - HOWEVER if you aren't in full 119 gear you're going to be gimping your trusts.I am not up on ninja but a lot of these bits are, at the very least, good macro pieces in the long term. In the short term, these are some of the easiest 119 gears to get.
TRUSTS: get a lot of them. Seriously. Get as many as you can. Most are trash. Some are situationally useful.
WEAPONS... you're going to want to find any way you can to get 119 weapons. The skill on them is essential for being able to hit stuff. Unity Wanted battles are probably your most likely bet for easier to get 119 weapons... it may be hard to find players for this but there is a double drop campaign going on now so maybe easier than usual. Alluvion skirmish is another option.
