Learning Experiences

[Garlyle]

If a player's going to brag about the iLvl of their gear in a sub 50 dungeon, they are actually an idiot. The item level sync actually pushes their gear down to roughly similar stats to that of a white item one level below the cap - regardless of how good it is. For an example for Garuda, if you had green iLvl 44 gear (from Dzemael) or Aetherial iLvl 45/6 gear, you would likely actually be better geared than someone in i90 gear. The only reason it seems they have an advantage is due to the stat points from levelling not getting synced down, and that they're still decked out in item level appropriate gear in every slot one way or another, whereas someone who's newly levelling is likely carrying a few slots that are a few levels under.

That aside, if he's running out of MP in Garuda Normal, he's doing something horribly wrong. If you're a decent healer you can even be the one bursting down the feathers with the MP-devouring Holy, and you can still have the MP to heal the battle to completion - I say that from experience.

You will occasionally run into jerks in this game. Just remember that they are the rarity, not the common. You'll remember them because they stand out, but they only stood out because you had no problem with the other 3 players in all the other content you've done.

Also, congratulations on clearing Garuda!
