Thread: ilevel sync vs level sync

The item level sync system has been added.
When undertaking a duty utilizing item level sync, the item level of any gear exceeding the maximum item level will be adjusted accordingly. Unlike character level sync, however, gear parameters will not be subject to further reduction beyond that brought about by the item level decrease.

In order to ensure participants are evenly matched, materia bonuses, as well as the Morale parameter, will be ignored while item level sync is in effect.
* Restrictions will not apply to the use of player actions or traits.

As of patch 2.3, item level sync will be applied to the following PvP instances:

The Wolves' Den (Matched, IL 80) / The Wolves' Den (Light Party, IL 80) / The Carteneau Flats: Borderland Ruins (IL 80)

Before I start, This thread is not for petitions, not for protesting, or complaining.
please don`t turn this thread into a a debate or complaint thread on how its unfair that they are doing an item level sync.

This thread is to try and figure out if ilevel sync will be the same as level sync and what the BiS of for i80 ilevel sync and i90 will be.

A really good example of level Sync was made in the level 40 Tweaking thread by TaneshimaPopura:

So you're asking how does it pick substat? Say you have a Spear which has 12 ACC 11 Crit 10 Det. For that item lets say their substat cap is 15-16 range. The system will pick Det as the substat because it has the highest ilevel weight. If 2 substat of equal weighting occurs (ACC, Crit, Sk Spd, Sp Spd) the system will always pick Acc > Crit > Sk/Sp Spd.

Level 40 Bracket Twinking.

This being said, will Item level Sync work the same as Level Sync?

If it does then what kind of Tweaking will we need to do for an item level sync of 80?
To get us started I compiled a list of i80 gear for each Job.

List of i80 Gear for each class
Black Mage
Summoner
Dragoon
Monk
Bard

Scholar
White Mage

Warrior
Paladin

Technically best accessories will be the crafted i90 new ones coming out. STR/DEX/VIT all on one ring. Enjoy as warriors come to take a crap on everyone

This is likely to be close to what a Tank's left side BiS should be for Frontlines/i80 Wolf's Den (the i80 Divine armor and Ramuh weapons may change this):
Paladin
Curtana Novus* (Crit/Det)
Holy Shield Novus** (Crit/Det)

Warrior
Bravura Novus** (Crit/Det)

(Weathered) Noct Circlet (Crit/Det)
Heavy Wolfram Cuirass (SkS/Det)
Heavy Wolfram Gauntlets (Crit/SkS)
(Weathered) Noct Belt (Det/Parry)
Heavy Wolfram Cuisses (SkS/Det)
(Weathered) Noct Greaves/Sabatons of Light (Acc/Det)

*A Break Blade (SkS/Crit) would likely be easier to get and only slightly worse.
** (Tidal) Wave Shield (Crit/Det) and (Tidal) Wave Axe will likely have a few points less of Crit but the slight chance of Full Resisting Water attacks.

You do realize Materia slots are irrelevant in FL. Materia will not take affect. & the gear you are wearing will be synced to I80 your gear will not be replaced with CT gear or any other sets but adjusted accordingly to stat allocations. EX: 110 will take your stats and sync them with I80 allocation. Best idea is to itemize your gear accordingly.



Point Proven Loves.

Thanks.

As it is Ilvl sync and not lvl sync then there will be no gear twinking. The best gear to use will be which ever pieces are ilvl80+ and have the 2 secondary stats on that you want.

For example for DRG any pieces with crit/det making the wyrms mail i90 the best to use in the body slot etc once have reached the frontal accuracy cap of around 370ish
