For me I generally will upgrade the relic to zenith LAST unless there is an absolute reason for me to do it first. Like for example, for Paladins, Curtana Zenith should be obtained if you are main tanking but still, I'll get the main body myth pieces up first before spending it on Zenith. Get the more important pieces first.
Well...the thing is, except for BRD, PLD and WAR...the weapon IS the most important upgrade for a new 50...for an alt, not so much, esp one who can get EX weapons now
