PLD is my 3rd or 4th job; I just use my penta-melded Gryphonskin Choker / Ring from BRD. I think they're a great intermediate piece until something better comes your way. Ring is +10 VIT, +12 CRIT, +4 DTR. Choker is funny because I accidentally melded the wrong materia for #5, but it actually works alright for PLD: VIT +10, CRIT +9, PARRY +4. The ring cost much more to make; the choker was really cheap with the quest giving materia slashing the Savage Aim prices. Savage Aim IV 50k, VIT III and II ~4k, Parry don't remember, but really low. Yeah it's not BiS, but you're not BiSing a 3rd or 4th job for a while with the lockout restrictions.
