What is the current optimal party level range?

[Neptune]

I'm so confused, it has changed so much. I'm in a party with someone 9 levels or so below me. Is it 10, 5, or 5 up and 10 down? I can't remember. Where was this last stated? Patch notes?

[Kilta_Firelotus]

its a 5 rank gap. Least that what I know, Look up on lodestone under partying.

[Neptune]

Nice! thank you kilta. also when are you coming back to besaid? ^^

[AlexiaKidd]

It is a 5 rank gap to get party bonus, it is a 10 rank gap before sp/exp starts to go down. So as long as everyone in the party is within 10 the sp/exp will be unaffected and everyone within 5 ranks will get party bonus sp/exp too.

I'm already back. Long story short my nephew some home deleted my lalafell while I was using the rr. And kept bekng on the wrong server after speed making characters. I play a miqo'te now cuz I missed my ffxi character, and I found out ffxiv Seeker of the sun miqo'te have a similar duel EyE coloring as a character I created in a story I was writing. Benn having fun as my kitty. Also gave her my last name in english vs old irish.

I am getting 390 sp as rank 42 on All Cracked Up at Broken Water with 4 leve links, everyone is within 5 ranks except for 1 guy who is rank 33. Am I getting screwed? Last time I did this I was at 500+ SP a kill.

Fatigue? Oh and what level are the mobs and how many in the party?

[Chardrizard]

it could be less stars than when you did it for 500+ SP. Less stars, less ranks, less SP.

[AlexiaKidd]

You would only need it on 2 stars I believe on cracked up to get max SP at R42 as the mobs should be R54 I think might be R52 though with 2 stars.

[Neptune]

I can't remember what rank the mobs were. That was a while ago now. No fatigue. 8 people, all within 4 ranks of each other now, still getting disappointing sp. Necrologos with 2 links was like 468.
