possible Reraise bug

Reraise wore off on the level sync target when he died and deleveled.
It had been on for less than 2hours, and it appeared in the chat log together(exact same time) with the rest of the text telling me that level sync had changed to 30 etc, and then followed by the message telling me what killed me(the wight hits pullox for XX dmg).

I did talk to a GM about this, but he tried suggesting that reraise might have been removed due to some abillity that can take away reraise and suggested i go look up how reraise works on a community site....

I have a screenshot, but i can't seem to upload it on the forums

Last I checked, level sync wears off Reraise.

I too have noticed that many effects are taken away when you level sync. Refresh, reraise, regen, and even protect and shell. I remember hearing from a friend something about them patching this but, as I too have found, this is not the case. We'll just have to be very careful when we level sync I guess.

Yea, it is quite simple actually. (And a by product of how level sync is programmed) When the syncée delevels, the level sync is re-applied and at this moment all buffs are cleared. It is however funny that the game can handle leveling up, because all spells you could cast at level X, are available at level X+1. While it takes the safe bet and removes all buffs if you go X to X-1 just in case X got a spell X-1 doesn't.

SE could update it to not remove buffs if your level change is + or - 1 I guess. Would solve this problem, but allow people to slightly cheat by casting level 14 spells and syncing to 13 and having a slight edge over the monsters. (But I can't see how this is really a problem)

Actually, reraise from reraise earring does NOT wear off when you sync(ffxiclopedia's got it noted as well) since i put it on before syncing, and then realised I was maybe gonna lose it, but I didn't, and I had the RR symbol all the way until I lost it the same moment I died.

Reraise DOES wear off if it's the spell, and possibly from FoV too, but not the earring nor hairpin.

Reraise effect only lasts 1 hour.

Reraise earring lasts 2hours, which was used in my case. Please read the first post and reply with relevant information.

Hello there, Pullox. Could you please clarify what level you had synced to after using the Reraise Hairpin?

In detail:
1. nin29/14dnc, I use my Reraise Earring.(reraise hairpin was just a side not since it works the same way)
2. Level sync, target on me.
3. Level up to 30, and then 31.
4. Die when you've just reached 31 so you level down to 30, while having Reraise status effect active.

That's the exact way it was performed.
How do i upload pictures to the forums?
