The thing about the DLCs is that they're both focused much more on new fighting styles called martial methods you get fairly early in to both. I'm talking spending 1 hour repeating solosseum matches to come out with nothing you need when you need like 5 of them. The best gold equipment in Timeless Tome is genuinely not worth the effort, as the recipes require obscenely rare DLC-only materials. Personally I was really lucky and got good equipment on my run through the labyrinth, so I never had to stop and seek out particular equipment or abilities. No matter where you get your gear from, unfortunately the DLC equipment is going to relying on RNG or time-investment or both one way or the other. There's an amazing sword you can get fairly early from DLC 2's recipes called the Ruby Katana which has like 600 attack and 'huge damage boost at max MP' and 'crits tons more likely' which trivializes the entire first DLC in conjunction with the Ding Dong Discipline martial method you get from the side quest on floor 23. THOUGH - if you'd like to get a little cheesy and make DLC 1 a breeze as well, DLC2s quests ramp up in levels, and gives you side quests along the way so you never tackle anything too high. I really only used 2 pieces of gear from the 2nd DLC, and they were crafted swords for Roland that had good abilities for the time-attacks in certain solosseum matches. 500 guarantees a gold piece of equipment (they come with many more than 2 skills) and it very much seems like the more you give the better the quality, but you can still be unlucky as it may give you gear for characters you don't intend to use.

I went through the entire 2nd DLC on expert using Labyrinth gear I'd acquired from giving the chests as many orbs as possible. DLC 2 I think has some better gear, but it's not by as much as you'd expect. Gold equipment with the correct skills from the Labyrinth are more than enough for the second DLC.
