Armoury System Mechanics

You don't use lower level gear, no. It automatically syncs your gear down, so there's no need to change your gear.

The higher level skills will be removed, though. You will be capped at whatever skills you would have available at the level you are synced to. I often ask people to give me a moment when entering a lower level dungeon so I can see what I actually have to work with.

Does that sync-down take into account the quality of your gear? If you have high-quality gear for your current level does it sync to the equivalent of high-quality for the synced level while normal quality would sync to the equivalent of normal quality for the synced level? Or does it just sync everything better than what the synced level could wear down to some standard set of stats it considers appropriate for that synced level?

I don't know of anyone who's gone in with both HQ and NQ pieces to test it. I did Copperbell on my BRD in full AF recently to help a FC member, and I was particularly destructive. I destroyed the spriggan adds like I was a Hummer tearing thru tissue paper.
