    Just wait til you get to light farming <<; you can't help out others on any other job (well you can but you won't get your relic lights you need), you're pretty much doomed to play that job for either 2000 FATES/maps or about 1250 dungeons/primal fights based on what light is from them. Alexandrites from DR EX maps and buying maps with myth was a breeze compared to this grind.

    Light farming is at least a matter of time and not completely dependant on RNG. With light farming, you're just playing the game and have complete control over the pacing.
    With Alexandrite, it's RNG 100% of the way through. Spiritbond? RNG determines what kind of materia you get. Gil making? Play the market--a special brand of RNG all its own, the people kind. And then, there's a potential fail rate when melding it.

    Alexandrite 100% RNG? Ha
    If you don't like RNG, ignore it.
    Do daily expert roulette, buy the maps with soldiery and buy the alexandrite with allied seals. Ignore the FATEs and farming 75 Alexandrite will be time based.
