You do have to perp in skill gear to enhance Favor.
But, in order to be efficent, you need to take care of the most important thing of being a SMN, which is perp- gear.
Whats the point in having BP- gear if you have to rest every 3 minutes?
Best you can hope, without having a relic, is to have 317 Skill (with merits) AND -8 perp gear. Its possible, but very hard, and requires a lot of determination to get it.
Good luck with that.
