So, as usual, I quit for a while and now I'm back and trying to figure out the best way to progress. What I'm looking for are suggestions on fights that I can solo now (and if there are any tricks, how to), things that I can solo once I get that gear, and so on. Obviously the goal is to get to the sets in the last few pages of the thread, eventually, but it's hard to get a group to take me seriously with what I have now. Here's what I'm working with:
ItemSet 343099 ItemSet 343098 ItemSet 343097 My perp set is a catch-all perpetuation / refresh / favor set. FC uses the Magical set until I get more specialization. For what it's worth, I'm currently stuck on the last RoV fight, progressing nicely through Chapter 4 of Adoulin, and working on initial Assault clears for Nirvana (I know). Any advice on immediate upgrades would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -TA Edit: Forgot to ask last night, but how easy would it be to solo the new JSE cape? What kind of time commitment am I looking at if it's feasible? Shiva.Alistrianna

Some of the easiest upgrades I can think of:
Pretty much all of the stuff I listed above can be gotten with 2-3 people and Trusts. There is alot more things I could recommend but the stuff above would be a good starting place for getting up to speed. Regarding the JSE cape from Ambuscade, the event is insanely easy. If you have a decent tank trust and healer trust, you should be able to do at least Easy if not Normal. Difficult gets a bit hard as your healer trust will blow through MP pretty quickly without a GEO using Vex.
The key is positioning Trusts so they don't all get destroyed. This dragon seems to have some kind of insane attack boost from the rear, and its breaths can one-shot. It will open the fight by applying thorns and then doing an immediate breath. So you need to dodge the first breath, then position your trusts near the front side of the dragon. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. I've done VD with August tanking and Apururu healing, granted I had an Idris GEO using Vex. Also in addition to the great stuff Ali posted, I'd add:
