Are there any LS out there that do dungeon runs that don't mind as much if their Bard doesn't have all the best gear?

I am trying to get parties via Shout and Duty but it regularly takes me over an hour just to get started on a run for The Wanderers Palace. Which by then I am highly frustrated.

I was trying to get going on my Relic as soon as I could but was promptly told I don't have high enough gear to go through all the fights. So I switched gears to earning Tomes of Philosophy so I could get better gear.

That being said, I would love to join a LS that has room for me. I would join a FC but I already have one of my own.
