Recommend to do Fates in a group in Gyr Abania, Fringes (random) and Othard, Azim Steppe (random) respectively. You do need a teammate or 2 for these to be efficient.
While Alliance Raids (guaranteed) can be done for these, they will generally be slower.

These can be farmed in Zadnor in Zone 1, 2 and 3 respectively which are random-drop and recommend for the bulk of these items since you are there to complete the story anyway. You can farm the remaining items with raids Alexander, Omega and Eden respectively in that order. The first items are farmed with 1-2, 5-6 and 9-10 and the second items are the remaining. So you can stick to the 1-2 and 3-4 of each raid tier to complete this stage.
