Continue doing the main story quests there (designated by the blue globe icon) until you reach Vern Castle and unlock Chaos Dungeons and the honing system.

Once you've unlocked Chaos Dungeons, congratulations! Completing these dungeons, which are essentially timed scenarios where you must defeat waves of enemies, will net you item level 302 gear that can be continually upgraded. Better yet, many of the materials
