Just to elaborate in greater detail for anyone wondering about Unreal Trials, you need:

- a job at current expansion cap (currently: Lv90)
- Lv90-ish start of expansion gear (you get synced down to about that item level but you don't want to be below that)
- Faux Hollows unlocked which is a short questline in Idyllshire

Then it is a matter of either using guides + standard practice or organizing a group for blind practice (your choice).

If you ever missed out on specific ones, every fight at min iLv sync from their respective expansion is basically that.
