What would be the cheapest/easiest way to gear up a job at 70?

I don't need the gear to necessarily be good, but I just leveled my Bard and Machinist to 70 and they're currently in their 290 job gear from the 70 quest. The whole point of leveling up my Bard and Machinist was to clear out my armory chest space, though, so having 2 sets unique to each job is very counterintuitive.

I don't currently plan to actually play them in endgame content so I'm happy with any gear as long as it's as good or better than the 290 set they get for free (don't want to downgrade them). Since my main is Ninja I only care about left side since I already have good right side aiming pieces.

I will say I'm an omni crafter so crafting gear is a possibility, but a lot of the 70 sets I've seen require very annoying materials that need a bunch of seals/mendacity/scrips and all that, and is definitely not worth the effort if I don't really plan on bringing them along to any difficult content.
