Wolves' Den item level sync

[Ultimatecalibur]

I know that's what everyone says, but where is that in the patch notes? non-existent..

Its in the patch notes here:

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)

Its in the patch notes here:

You forgot to bold what you seem to be missing, which is "while item level sync is in effect". i70 < i80, and therefore will not be sync'd down to i80. You see the confusion here?

True, the phrase "while item level sync is in effect" can be read as "while in effect on the player," but the context of the section seems to imply "while in effect in the duty" and that loss of Materia bonuses and Morale parameter are not considered part of the item level syncing effect.

Good...so if I am not in item level sync, my full Warwolf set is basically best in slot for Frontlines then? Cause it would be a real shame if morale was completely taken out of the picture and i70 pvp gear would be useless.

No. I was saying that Morale is likely completely out of the picture. BiS for Wolf's Den i80 and Frontlines will likely be i80+ PvE gear.

Yes that gear is useless for Frontlines.

So basically they are making it so the people who pve more then pvp have something more to do? Either way we'll see cause warwolf or direwolf will be better then the pve stuff.

No, without Morale, the Warwolf, Direwolf and the i100 sets will be equal to or worse than PvE gear of the same ilevel because they will be short one secondary stat and melds will not mean anything while in i80 sync content.

This is likely to be a Paladins BiS for Frontlines/i80 Wolf's Den:
Break Blade/ Curtana Novus (Det/Crit)
(Tidal) Wave Shield/ Holy Shield Novus (Det/Crit)
(Weathered) Noct Circlet
Heavy Wolfram Cuirass
Heroes Belt of Fending/(Weathered) Noct Belt
Heavy Wolfram Cuisses
(Weathered) Noct Greaves/Sabatons of Light
