    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.

    I am fairly certain you're not correct about this, but it seems like everyone has a different answer that they are sure is correct.

    Considering its been working exactly like that ever since I found out? Makes me feel like leaving any group I wind up in that demands a speed run, or only doing the content with FC mates since we go in with standard party setups that can do large pulls and complete the dungeon at speed while hitting 60 at or right before the final floor block.

    Also people have been reporting the exact same thing I said on reddit, as well as its success.

    If it was based on the floor then explain why people who are speed running are constantly grumbling about lack of upgrades while those who are doing leveling clears are saying its not that grindy?

    Again, I've heard people say completely different things reporting it as having it worked as they said. Anyway, this is kind of a silly argument that I don't want to drain my forum post counts on.

    so this image is photoshopped?

    doesn't your finding say to go from 25 to 26 the character level MUST be over 50? it would be impossible for a Lv 47 player to get that?

    and this as well

    That is simple to explain: People who speedrun do not really enjoy the content and just want the rewards ASAP, thus, every second spent in there feels longer for them than for people who happily take the extra time to clear everything.

    Personally, my own upgrade from +19 to +20 was on floor 23, where my level was like 34 - definitely a far shot from 38. Also heard about people getting their +7 upgrade on level one after resetting and one guy was jubilating over his lvl 30 upgrade - on Floor 42 at level 59. It doesn't quite add up with the theory that it depends on level, so I'm a bit wary myself. I'm not ruling out that the level can be a factor, but I'm disinclined to believe it's the only one that matters. That goes against my own experience.
