It's best to take the priority list as a simple guideline and focus on what you need right now or for future raids.
For the event, some stuff isn't worth it like the event furniture since it's craftable. I'd say to focus on getting the exchange rewards so you can get the 1200 pyroxene from the shop, possibly the natsu elephs, then grab what you think you need.
