    Greetings,

    Just for clarification, using this system will not remove the item drops, therefore you can use this feature to obtain minions, equipment for glamour, and the items needed to upgrade Zodiac weapons.

    Additionally, there is no item level sync, so you'll be able to enter content at the highest level and item level.

    On the other hand, if you are looking for more of a challenge, then you can use another feature which will sync to the lowest level set for that duty.

    The development team is looking forward to seeing how everyone will use these new feature to create your own unique challenges and group events. They plan on using what they see as reference for future development.

    Awesome, thank you! I know in a certain other MMO with several expansions worth of old content, a favorite pastime of mine was going back through old content for cool armor sets. I appreciate the lack of item level sync. It makes for a non-stressful enjoyable trip down memory lane getting some awesome vanity pieces along the way.

    For fun. S&G. nostalgia. It can be enjoyable to be challenged by something you've beaten to death once in a while. Like it could be a lot of fun to go into it as an underwhelming dps and healer duo to prove you can handle it o.o
    The main point is not that you must, but that you can, more freedom is better.

    Will sync'ing to the lowest level provide extra rewards (achieves, loot)? I'm having a hard time picturing why anyone would want to do so, unless some incentive is provided.

    Probably not. When you have people with complaints about content nerfs and how they appreciate more difficult content, this beats them to any argument.

    Lol, the people that complain about content nerfs will be taking the path of least resistance just like the "filthy" casuals do.

    This will be nice for me to finally get a baby opo-opo and Mummy's little Mummy.

    This is something that most players already did when dungeons were new. Not exactly something special.

    So let me guess this straight, there is a level sync on all ARR content but no item level sync, or no level sync as well, because... I'd REALLY like to be able to get through t12 so i can finally get to t13...

    Does that mean CT, Trials, and BCoB will be like this too?

    I think this just applies to dungeons not to the raids (Coils, WoD, etc); However, there is no clarification about that. I would definitely like more information about this being available or not in the raid dungeons.

    Honestly if this is true I would say you shouldn't need to further nerf Relic content. What made relic content hard for the most part was the level restriction to a majority of the dungeons but by removing that you pretty much remove 90% of what made it tedious, to go through dungeons at a lower level and hoping for x item to drop.
