What we ended up doing was grinding to 45 to get the four pieces of Artifact gear. That gear gave us a significant boost and made the trial lots easier! We were able to endure the damage and push on. Gear matters for Garuda Normal!This was pretty much what I did. Doing Garuda with lv 40 gear vs doing it with lv 45 artifact gear saved me so much trouble as a Scholar.
You can always do an undersized party of non-synced folks, but where's the fun in that?
I'd also suggest leveling when and while you can. While it's not absolutely necessary to do so, it makes things so much more easier. I actually ran a few Dzemael Darkholds just for gear before I attempted to do Garuda normal.
I'm sure I'm echo'ing what others have said already, but every little bit helps! Also, don't be afraid to ask us for help!
