Garuda is important for every element and won't be pushed out of your "Eid Grid" for a long time.
Honestly, your not is not suppose to look that far into the future, but to get yourself as strong as possible to be able to do Ragnarok difficulty, which you can only attempt once a day. You're gimping yourself by not getting stuff from the event. You'll regret it once you fail to do Ragnarok due to underpowered weapon/eid grid.
