If you're content with the Thurgadin set, you can (slowly) acquire it even in a duo or trio. Some giants in the bank area are known to drop it. The arena will usually require at least a group or so if people need the items as upgrades, and two groups or more will make it go faster (it can be a very tedious area, especially healer giants since the push-interrupt nerf). Raids for either Thurgadin or Halls of Testing armor can be a little troublesome at times for druids because it seems like there are always a billion monks soaking everything up.
Most pieces of the Thurgadin set are fairly affordable to buy via MQ. The chest is a little more expensive but even that's cheap for how good the click effect is. Odds are you can obtain the necessary platinum faster than you can obtain a set directly--a common reality in this game. It is exceedingly rare for pick-up groups to hang out in Kael arena these days. If you want to obtain Thurgadin armor directly, odds are you'll either have to bring your own group (hence why duo/trio areas might be preferred) or join a lower-end guild that goes to that area.
