I like to do pop in at the castle, buy stuff from Ferro, then do the away camp before returning to the castle.
That way, if I feel generous, I become a Templar right away, and everyone loves me.
But if I'm hungry for some exp. points, I do the whole castle and pretty much genocide the rapax before doing the templar thing... for some reason, I find the Trynnie charming and the Rapax ['cept for Ferro: Antone is a pain] really unpleasant.
Since I like parties of 4 or less, by the time I make the castle, few rapax can do me much harm.
Oh, BTW: Death Cloud+Hex is SUPER effective against rapax...

To become a templar, you need to
1> buy dark nectar from ferro
2> go to the balcony level of the great hall in Rapax castle, find locked gates, talk to gate keeper
3> follow the instructions you'll receive: DON'T forget to pick up the iniate's badge: lots of people seem to miss it...
4> you will be asked riddles: they are pretty simple. Answering them gets you special equipment.
5> dress your favorite male character in the gear
6> find all sexy's alter and drink the nectar. Giggle over cheesy results...
And before you leave the rift, drop by Al Sedexus' underground temple and waste her: otherwise, one of your characters will suffer after they have left.
Also, some of the gear you get in the process is quite nice: canzou dagger is one of the best 'off hands' in the game, and the other stuff ain't bad for some armor restricted classes.
