PLD - Upgrade Sword or Shield to Relic +1 (Zenith) first?

[Mailstrum]

I am an ilvl 80 PLD and I still have the original Curtana relic. You will hate yourself for doing this, believe me. Upgrade from the ilvl 70 pieces, chest 1st, head 2nd, legs feet, and then the ring that is not darklight.

The reason for doing chest 1st, is because the head drops off T5, so you probably won't be getting it anytime soon, and you can wear either the i55 helm or a crafted i70 helm until you get the AF2 head.

this is so wrong.... on so many accounts. the chest drops off T1 So do not buy chest first. buy the helm first pants drop in turn 2 so dont buy the pants either buy the boots. But get your sword +1 before anything else. also there is no crafted helm for tank.... its body/helm combo its darksteel heavy armor no seperate helm.... you also could do the primal extreme weekly and get ilvl 90 shield as well as weapon. though its not the best option its still an option.
