Thank you both for the information. One more question however; when soloing things like trials that can drop mounts, is it possible to obtain the mount or can it only be obtained while in a group?

You can get mounts solo/unsynced. Unless it's been changed, I believe the only item drops that depend on doing it while level synced in a party are the music pieces, which have a higher drop rate when done under "intended" conditions.

The only important item drops, maybe. Whether stuff can drop at all in an unsynced run comes down to whether it drops directly from killing a mob, or whether it comes from a treasure chest. Mob drops don't happen if you're unsynced, but chest drops do. Most of the big stuff that players actually care about (including mounts) comes in chests, so that's all available either way. But there's some rare-ish crafting mats that may be desirable to some which come from direct mob drops. You're giving up on those when you go unsynced.

There are also some orchestrion rolls that have a 100% drop rate if you run at minimum iLevel, though I don't think just being level synced (without that minimum ilvl setting) does anything to them.

Again, though, this is unless something has changed recently. The latest info I've heard about this is a bit old at this point.
