Progression w/o Money

So, three of my friends and I decided to go a new world (scania) and see how far we can progress together and how far we could go using no money whatsoever, except for my friend who cheated and paid $20 for eye coupons. We have done it since firepower and all are around 179-183, planning to do some major bossing for the fun of it. I'm sitting at ~270k, two 140k, and one at 80k. We have reached a point where can beat hard gollux, normal swagnus, pink bean, and want to progress further. However, we plateaued and are stuck at camping at drakes for elites. No one seems to be interested in a 12% hp hammered Rein Gollux Ring or anything I want to sell, so money is hard to come buy. I can't upgrade my gear, and can't use real $$$ to cube my weapon & sec. weapon past 9% atk and dex. Tips on ways to get past our wall, and can anyone tell if my friends have had good progress for

Don't mind the fact that collectively we have spent 2.1b worth of perm nx gear overall, and would be much more rich if I wasn't so easy to scam
