Dungeon Level Sync

[Risvertasashi]

If DF assigns a level 60 BLM (ilevel scary) and a level 30 BLM to Sastasha so both are synced to 18(? - I think) then are they both equal in stats? Including weapon and/or magic damage, defense, etc.?

Short answer: no

See, there is a sync effect where stats are reduced to the theoretical maximum for that level. But that's just it. A new DPS (or whatever other class) just isn't going to maximize those levels. Especially at 18, where a lot of 50+ gear has off stats that are simply unavailable on any piece of gear at this level.

However, in your example, there's a lot more potential to be equal. Since they're both over the cap, they'll both be sync'd to the cap (assuming the BLM is max geared). But there's yet another nuance: level 30 gear stat distribution is a lot difference from level 50 and beyond. For example, healers and casters share gear pre-50, so it has mnd *and* int, and probably doesn't have as much of the off stats to go around.
