Piggy-backing off this and what the others have said. The first unlock quest from Urianger will give you the first tier of the raid set. This is binding coils turn 1-5. Turn 3 is an odd duck and doesnt really have loot, but the rest of them do. These are the allagan weapon and armor sets. Once you complete turn 5 youll be able to do another quest that furthers the story and unlocks the second coil of bahamut turns 1-4(turns 6-9 as the community calls them). These drop the high allagan weapon and armor sets. Finishing turn 9 allows you to further the story one more time with an unlock quest for the final coils of bahamut turn 1-4(referred to as 10-13). These 4 drop the dreadwyrm weapon and armor sets. The storyline told via the quests and the cutscenes before and after these instances are considered by many to be the "true" end to the level 50 story, and i encourage you to check them out(either later at the inn, or just tell the groups up front as they join you to run them that youll be watching - a lot of people will be happy to stay and wait while you watch in exchange for all those bonus tomes and second chance points, not to mention a shot at whatever loot may drop).Quote:

The first 4 can be solo or with 2 people. If all you want is gear you need a high level friend to take you through it.
It is amusing that 1 - 4 are no problem, and then 5. Well the difficulty suddenly spikes up. -

I have cleared up to T7 Solo with my Warrior but always good to have at least one or 2 more with you to make things easier.
Perhaps ask around in your FC for some help. People i thought still run coil for Wonderous Tails?
I kind of want to see how far i could get on Astro some day, lol -

You can also get some gear replicas from Palace of the Dead.

Or simply buy them off the marketboard / craft them, less RNG. Also, the Replicas are dyable.
