Possible to skip Eureka/Pagos?

[Nyvara]

Unlike many games I was used to( EQ, EQ2, Wow) The Relic here isn't something needed for end game/raiding which feels sorta odd to me. Wish I knew the story of why it is like that but there ya go.

I use a penta-melded (5 pieces of materia) I380 crafted weapon which is already superior to the pagos weapon by leaps and bounds. OK maybe a hop or two, but still. However those can be costly on the MB unless like me you are able to craft it yourself. In which case you could Run sigmascape V4.0 4 times and then Rabanastre and Lighthouse for the tokens to get a I370 weapon which will be serviceable.

That all assumes you like me don't do EX trials because "2spooky"
