Thanks everyone, for the advice and giving a clearer goal on what to work on. Started fighting Ifrit HM, still lacking the sword but the battle's easy enough to MT. Just gonna continue farming it until I get the sword and all the daily roulettes till I have enough ToPs for the accesories.

Even with Party Finder, maintaining a party of 4 and up is rare since people cant seem to wait for a light or even a full. I try to get my friends to help though theyre rarely on. I'll work on the Relic eventually but for now, I'll find a suitable replacement with Trial/Dungeon Drops and Phil. with your recommendations.

This is another question. Is the HQ iLv70 Sword worth getting or is it just for vanity's sake? Of course the Relic outstats it initially but Materias can help going for a specific stat going higher. I'm only asking for the weapon, I dont find the Heavy Armor appealing at all.
