So, I kinda assume this has been brought up before.

While I'm in not NEED of gil, I don't have enough to purchase a full HQ right side/belt for my MIN.

So, would people recommend that I use favors, and sell the mats and purchase the pieces or invest in the i180 set/weapon. Would selling the mats now be best and then work on the i180 set after I obtained the rest of the gear? I have enough stats to mine the red scripts, and it doesnt seem that the i180 set is needed for anything in particular.
