How to gear up?

Hi, firstly congrats at reaching endgame.

You need good equips in order to farm for Lolo, Solmiki, and Orange 315 weapon (sarkmis). It is not realistic if you aim at these without gearing up in the first place. Alot of time are also needed to farm for these items.

Grynas or Virtov are the accessible equips that you should be using. You can choose to skip 315 purple weapon if you are aiming for Sarkmis. Otherwise, get the purple 315 2H sword.

You have the choice to be "budget" geared in order to farm for the best gears (lolo, solmik, sarkmis), or just invest in the 2nd-best or 3rd-best equips.

"Invest" means anvil upgrade, gem socket, and transcendence.

Anvil is the basic upgrade which boost the equips' base stats by a flat value. There are chances of failure at higher upgrade levels which will reduce the item potential. Aim for a +8~+10 for weapon. And aim for a +6~+8 for armors and accessories.

Gems have different colours and each offers different stats in different equip type. You can level gems when you are sitting and open the gem enhancement tab from your skillbar. You can roast gems from alchemist in town to remove the negative values. You need to go to the blacksmith to open slots for gems in the equip before you can insert them.

Transcendence require blessed shards which you can get from saalus or market. Then you need to craft blessed gem using the recipe which you can obtain from npc merchant. Each transcendence level require different number of blessed gems for a 100% success chance. You can choose not to use the require number and trancend, but the number of gems you use during transcendence will affect the probability of success. Transcendence will boost equips base+anvil stats by a percentage. Hence it is important to have a good anvil upgrade before using transcendence.

Overall, I recommend grynas set and Magi/315 purple 2H sword. You really need these in order to farm for the best-in-game equips. If you choose not to get the best equips, you can then seriously invest into these equips.
