I am disappointed with Deep Dungeon

Actually that's wrong.

The upgrade cap is the players level, the floor only determines the sync cap. You need to be 2x or higher then the level of your respective piece of gear for it to roll an upgrade at all.

Its in the player's best interest to level as much as possible as fast as possible to have the maximum amount of chances for silver chests. If you are not level 60 by floor 41 or 42 you are doing it wrong and actually reducing the likelihood of getting an upgrade at all.

Can you confirm on this? I´ve been on some speed runs(matched) that skips all possible mobs so naturally we got under 60 for 41-50 floors

Yeah, me and my FC went and tested this out.

It was not until we were 2x the upgrade level in character level before any chest would give us an upgrade. We were getting upgrades for gear that was sync'd. In fact, we were almost rolling in upgrades throughout the 41-50 block. While the speed run groups I wound up in almost never got upgrades. Being level 56/57 by floor 47 means only 2 floors for chances at upgrades.

The higher the enhance level, the more speed running hurts you. Floor depth only affects the sync level.

how much data do you have for this? sounds like confirmation bias.

It is true. You can tell by watching the yellow/white text next to your weapon as you level.

i.e. if your weapon is say level 21 and you are 43, it will be yellow. You gain a level and are 44, then now it's white - on the same floor. This DOESN'T mean you can level it at the floor though, it just means you can level the weapon on the appropriate floor.

that's just item level sync. you can still get rank ups when the stat is yellow, i was surprised but it happened to me.

my weapon level was 19, i was helping a friend run through it from the beginning, it was sync'd down to 17 cause my character level was only 34 or 35. opened up a silver chest and it went up to 20, even though it was still yellow and still sync'd down to 17.

Hmmm, OK, whenever it was Yellow for me it said no changes. I guess I just wasn't on the appropriate floor yet. Thanks for the extra info

Floor does not determine any upgrades on the enhance.

Player Level determines if the upgrade is available on the enhance.

Floor determines the sync.

The enhance level determines what level you are required to be to enhance by a modifier value of 2x.

+29 requires you to be level 58 minimum +30 requires level 60. If you speed run through and keep getting to the last boss by 58 you will never get a +30 upgrade. If you are 58-60 by the time you hit the 41-50 block you have the ideal amount of chances to upgrade to +30.

Speed running works for potsherds, but its completely detrimental to aetherpool enhance level grinding.
