I was excited to pick up the quest to reforge my AF armour, and followed the advice in the patch notes by speaking to Monisette in Port Jeuno. Monisette told me to speak to Sagheera first, which I did. Sagheera talked to me about upgrading relic armour, and then I talked to Monisette again. Monisette simply tells me that Sagheera still hasn't mentioned me to her.

"Sagheera has never mentioned anyone who fits your description. How about you follow the proper protocol and speak to her first?"

I zoned out and back in, logged out and back in, spoke to Sagheera again (she only asks me what relic armour I'm interested in, now), and I can't get Monisette to recognize me. Have I locked myself into needing to upgrade at least one relic piece (complete Sagheera's quest) before I can pick up the AF reforging quest?

Please, if anyone is familiar with these NPCs and quests, I'd appreciate your thoughts.
