So are there PuG raids at all?

[Tupakk]

Azure Guard, Blackheart Pirates, Kittens, Clue, and Fires are all good starter guilds. ( in no particular order ) to join the Lower Planar raids.

Alternatively if you join Dial a Port and learn what comes in window and when it makes it that much easier to have your necro parked at PoF ent and when you see an influx of people being ported to Feerrott just pop on your necro and hop on the loot train.

Bonus is you make money on ports and can get your necro gear. Its a win win.
