Average item level calculation needs fixing, as does lv50 gear progression

Err, don't you have to run AK at least once in order to get your Relic weapon to begin with? lol

You must not have been around back then lol. AK used to be the only place to get Myth from (eventually added it to WP, which led to WP-SRs taking over), and people wanted to get it as fast as possible, so requiring a Relic (which normally meant you had gear and knew what you were doing back then) was the "easiest" thing to do to ensure you got a "good" group.
