You can't get them both (there's not enough gold in Ch 1 for this) so you have to choose. The free walkthrough recommends you get the ground and powder, but I heard that the Torrent Blade is very powerful! Which one is better to get, the blade or the ground and powder? In case you don't know,Spoiler: show
You can get both - I did.
Use the gold bars to get the Torrent Blade; it gets overtaken after a time, but until you get to that point it is hugely useful, and not just in the Metrolian Ruins.
If you do what I suggest about leaving the chests in the early part of the Ruins until after you've got the seed pendant etc., that sets you up pretty well. Can't remember now whether I waited to do Namunama until after the Ruins or not; but if you do (and equip the luck ring) that gives you a whole stash of gold more.
