    How to find players at minimum IL?

    I want to kill Leviathan, on a normal difficulty. In this game there are people who do this. Or old content hate here?

    You could queue through the Duty Finder but that will take time and Mentors will probably get annoyed with it.... So saying that, the Party Finder is your next option. It lets you recruit players based on what you want you want to do and you can set any expectations beforehand, try giving that a go!

    Oh perhaps I misunderstood. I don't think there is much to get from doing Leviathan Hard mode with min ilvl, as Extreme (even synced) offers better rewards. Players are definitely queuing for Extreme through the Duty Finder as it comes up often in the Mentor Roulette, that would be the closest you'd get to min ilvl if Party Finder is not offering much luck.

    I mean. What would pass these bosses on the quest, I felt the battle.

    Last time I was on duty at ultima weapon. After that, I never go in duty finder. Shitty speedrun etc ruin experience).

    First a lot of people will not want to do it at minimum ilv and you're probably going to have a very slow if not also a hard time progressing through this game trying to find people to run things like that. Second even when that fight came out the majority probably again wasn't at the min ilv that you can do it at. Third you're best bet is to use the party finder or care less about getting synced down people in a duty finder.

    Youve asked this same question in a half dozen threads now. The answer is party finder. The answer is always party finder. It doesnt matter which fight youre asking about. If you want to run any content with the minimum item level setting you always need to use party finder. If you cant fill a party finder group, then you need to either find or create a linkshell on your server(or cross-server LS on your data center) dedicated to minimum item level runs so you can have like-minded people.

    And i think it was Hyomin who said this to you last time you brought this up, but ill reiterate. The fights get better tuned for the item level you do them at as you go forward(if you use the normal duty finder). Leviathan is better tuned then mog, ramuh is better then leviathan, the crysalis fight is even harder still. From that point(crysalis) on pretty much any "normal mode" trial has a chance to wipe the party when people arent paying attention and playing well.

    I do not know. After the castrum I do this. I take the 70th level person. I go to the unsync and while he heals me I beat the boss.
    Because after the castrum I don't believe in sync.

    The problem with castrum and praetorium being able to have their mobs get killed so quickly is that the instances do not have item level sync, only level sync. They were tuned for around ilvl 45 or 50 (don't remember which) but most people have avg ilvl way above that, with lvl sync bringing down the gear to around ilvl130 for most characters. As a result they are still way overpowered compared to the enemies in those dungeons. However, item level syncing the instances would just make current problems worse, as they are already long enough thanks to forced cutscenes.

    EDIT: Castrum and Prae have minimum ilvls of 42.

    So all trials (50 lvl(hard)) have same problems?
