Focus on leveling for now, skills will have a much greater increase on your damage at this point. When you reach late 14x, start focusing heavily on gear and bossing.
So, after over 1 year old, my Aran just advanced to 4th. I'm pretty hyper about it (made it worth the 3h/level it took from 115 to 120). Got 2 in OS and 1 in HM, since I figured I woulnd't zak so soon for my Final Blow, nor do I have enough funds to buy it and have the spare I need. (~70m, total.)
So now I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I want to farm my skill/mastery books, get better gear, and level up. I have around 150 crimson wood, going towards making it. I'm using a crappy 91 att 4 str karstan 2 slot (my good one blew up), and I maker'd a 3 str 104 zedbug which, if I scroll and enhance, will be better than the karstan.
I don't know what to optimize now. I was going to zak with some guildies, but I'm running Windows 7 on my Bootcamp Mac, and the moment I got in the shrine, changed quality to low and went to window mode. Didn't like it, so went full screen again and game crashed; the Maple Window was blank, although the BGM and the sound effects of zakum spawning and all rolled well.
TLDR : I can either farm for my Arcglaive, get my skill/mastery books (And train while I'm at it), or just level up, getting my OS to 10 before going after OS20, etc etc. Help a noob aran :/
