being synced to lower levels...

[Conradus]

I was wondering about something - If you're equipped with a endgaming level weapon and enter a lower level (pre lv50) dungeon or fate battle, would the same damage inflicted be taken into account, just like in any area of the game, outside of dungeons/fates?

e.g. using a lv50 sword (or bow/arrows), and similar level gear, in a dungeon such as Sastasha at Lv17.

I already know that your level will be synced, as well as the abilities that are available, prior to the synced level.

What about post lv50 weaponry/gear when Heavensward is out?

Gear is synced too. In normal mode Satasha, your gear will be synced to ilvl 17, just like you are synced to character level 17. This will generally give better gear than an actual level 17, though, since ilvl 17 gear in every slot isn't available to him. In the first high level dungeons, your character is no longer synced, but your ilvl is.

not only that the non-synched player would not have a full ilevel 17 gear set. The gear for the synched player is like all green ilevel 17 gear or all HQ ilevel 17 gear, because the stats on his gears are on the max stat cap for ilevel 17, while the non-synched player will not only have gear lower than ilevel 17, but also some normal NQ gear.

Am I right in seeing that the dungeon syncing will change from when Heavensward is around?
So my equipped weapon would create the same amount of damage as in any area on the game?

I think only if you enter the dungeon with less than the required party size.

Only with a pre-formed party (not sure if you can do it solo or if you need two or more), and only if the party leader selects that option in the DF. But yes. =)

The only thing that stinks about syncing is when it puts you below 30 and you cannot use your job abilities. I think they should change the first job abilities (level 30) to be useable at level 1 or 10. You are already giving up loads of cross class abilities, and then when you sync you lose the job abilities as well.

Or make it that the job stone get automatic unequipped if synched lower than lv 30.

Then why are you syncing below 30 with your job? Bring your class instead.

That raises the question of having equipment that's job-specific. Strip the soul stone, and suddenly you're naked, because none of that stuff is legal on your class. Particularly troublesome if your main weapon requires your job, since that makes stripping your soul stone flat out impossible.

This argument is really only applicable if you're using your AF, AF+1 or Relic. If you're using any other gear then it isn't a problem as they are all wearable by classes and Jobs. Yes, even Ironworks and Dreadwyrm.
