Divine souls is a guaranteed drop for expert, and occasional drop for standard. It never drops for rag.

Devil souls is a guaranteed drop for rag, but never drops for the other two.

As Superbia mentioned, share your raids, and ppl will join and finish it for you. Or do the reverse, join other people's raids - even if you hit it once, you get the guaranteed soul drop. The host of raids just gets a guaranteed item drop used for spawning more raids, so after you've hosted once for the 50 jewels, you can choose to not host ever again if you don't care about the daily missions (though you should at least host enough to get the free half potions imo.)

Raids are actually the most beginner friendly event 'cos you really just need to show up, dealing minuscule dmg doesn't matter, 'cos unlike UE, PP earned during raids just gets you more raid tickets, not something unique.
