FATE farming - only two zones worth it, make it six

[Bacent]

Same as what happens when I, a level 90, do a FATE in UT which is level 89 and someone at level 89 is also doing it. The difference in gear between level 81 and 89 is infinitesimally (I hope that's the right pronunciation) lower than that between 89 and 90.

So the FATE doesn't scale up, but I am just not scaled down to the level that I'm actually weaker in Garlemald than I am in UT.

Sounds like a you problem honestly? You can only be a certain amount of levels above a fate to do it. That's how it's always been.

Right now it sounds like you're complaining that you don't have your stat bloat so 'everything is slow'.

A fresh level 90 is around ilvl 550. Go do fates in UT with the level 89 class gear you get with a weapon around that ilvl as well and it'll feel slower as well.

Max ilvl is 660 now. Even if you're just getting normal raid and tome stuff you'd be around 650, and that's a HUGE Amount of stats all around you get.

Here's my ilvl 645 GNB weapon compared to a 545 GNB weapon. Look at the stats. They're almost 50% higher than a weapon that's 100 ilvls lower, if not higher than that.

I'm confused, you're just proving his point?

A level 90 joining a level 89 fate is FAR more impactful then a level 89 joining a level 81 fate. So why does the level 89 get downscaled?

Because how do you scale a FATE in an 81, to account for everyone that can participate?? And presumably it would be the same for Shb, Sb, HW and ARR fates? Or is this only a complaint for EW Fates, cause Eisi wants to farm them asap?

You can't scale the FATE to the player, the FATE is static. The players participating could change at any moment, so the players are the ones that have to scale.
