Yet you can't get a weapon better than a level 44 weapon without running AK to get one, see the problem? They (SE) would not have made the dungeon the way it is if it was unfinishable with gear you should have at that point. You have to run AK once or twice to complete the Relic weapon and the GC quest, so the dungeon is obviously completeable without a full party of relic weapon wielders.

The Hard Mode Primals on the other hand, you probably should have every possible gear by that point.
