2.4 PVP changes to Morale

[Ultimatecalibur]

It may actually work as Layth describes if the stat increase from Morale happens before ilevelsync take effect.

If Morale applies before ilevelsync then the the Hellwolf Choker of Aiming would be Morale boosted from +12 Det +12 Crit to +13 Det +13 Crit and then synced down to +10 Det +13 Crit as the i80 stat caps for jewelry are +10 Det/Pie +14 All others.

Ilevel isn't a stat budget in XIV, but a gear stat cap determiner. Pretty much all Green and Blue gear have a "Main" Secondary stat which is at the ilevel stat cap and a "Secondary" Secondary stat which is at roughly 2/3 the ilevel stat cap.

You can see it's giving me 11 dex, 10 det, and 14 crit. Unsynced and not in pvp it gives 16 dex, 12 det, and 12 crit.

Yeah. I wasn't 100% sure on that, so I only threw that tidbit in my post as an aside. Thanks for clearing that up.

Very interesting! I never considered that Morale might come into effect first, boosting the stats up to the ilvl 80 cap once the item level sync is put into place and thusly "raising" the stats of the gear. That's very interesting, indeed! I would have thought that the item level sync would be put into effect first, but apparently this is not the case.

So I see. Then I suppose it's safe to say that Morale does take place before the item level sync.

This also means that there actually is a reason to get PvP gear above item level 70 for Frontlines and i80 synced Wolves' Den, doesn't it? The difference would be very, very tiny, but it's still there. What an interesting way to handle item level sync...

Thanks for clearing that up, you two.
