I would advise against gearing up solely via hunts, if only because hunting in this game teaches you nothing about how to play your role.

For tanks, hunting is "Build hate! Taunt target! Don't die!"
For damage dealers, hunting is "Press all your buttons! Don't die!"
For healers, hunting is "DoT the target and then AoE heal! Don't die!"

You won't learn how to play your class/job well. You won't learn mechanics. You'll still be apprehensive about running dungeons, raids, and new content.

Feel free to disregard if you have no intention whatsoever of ever running instances.

Have fun, and good luck!
