I'm currently visiting relatives so haven't played in a while. FV rules are that raid gear that drops can be traded or sold. So if you get raid gear on FV from raids or bazaar traders, you can copy it to Test, but if its bound to your character you can't trade it. There are several people on FV who will sell you a full set of copied raid gear for plat or kronos and they advertise all the time in chat.

I play everything, but my main is a SK. My group just sets in a corner and my SK swarm pulls about 20 mobs and kills them. So my group makeup doesn't really matter, lol.
