I would not worry about getting overland gear or trials/dungeons gear as all of it will be useless by the time you hit CP 160. There is a caveat, however. I would level up in zones that have the overland gear that might be useful, like Bangkorai for Spriggans or Western Skyrim for Venomous Smite, to get the gear I could later reconstruct from the sticker book. You could do the same in normal group dungeons like Crypt of Hearts 1 or Black Drake Villa.
Since you are levelling a new character, matching specific sets is too much effort for little outcome imo, so I disagree with posts above. I think you should do one of two things, either wear whatever gear you loot from dead enemies (making sure you have at least one piece of each weight so that you level it up) OR politely ask someone to craft you lvl 26 training gear. If you wear crafted gear make sure to update it every few levels for more efficiency
