Leveling above lvl sync does it matter.

[Hollow_Tears]

I have been doing dungeons and some quests above the sync lvl and does it make a noticeable difference and also with better equipment help too,
I'm not sure what to look for when my lvl is sync, besides damage output on my dps i saw little of (depends on monster) but my higher defence did not help.

I just need someone to explain level sync...I noticed it said something about it on a quest I did, but I'm not sure what that even means. Just tagging a long for the ride on this thread.

level sync drops you too an acceptable level so that you will get credit for doing said scenario.if you do not level sync you will earn nothing for your effort.i believe it is if you are 6+ levels higher than scenario you will be prompted to level sync,after its over you automatically go back to your present level.

I'm no expert,so maybe others will elaborate more in depth.

When you're level synced, your stats and your gear sync down to an appropriate level, too. You'll end up with roughly average performance for the level you're synced to. If it's anything like FFXI, wearing HQ gear will give you better synced stats than NQ gear, but not as good as if you wore HQ gear that's actually for the level you're synced to. In other words, syncing to level 10, a level 10 HQ chest piece > a synced level 20 HQ chest piece > an NQ chest piece synced or otherwise.

Busere, level sync is a system that temporarily lowers your level to the maximum appropriate level for some bit of content (a quest instance, a guildleve, a guildhest, a dungeon, a FATE, etc.). Your level and your stats, along with the stats on the gear you're wearing, get lowered to what they'd be at that level until you're done with the thing you're syncing for, then you go back to your natural level. For example, I'm level 39. I can still run the first dungeon, and when I do, I'm effectively level 17 until I'm done with it. I still earn XP (the same amount I would at level 17, so not enough to make this an effective leveling strategy at level 39, but it means I can help out lower-level FC mates etc.).

Hmmm...I like that. You don't get that option in EQ2...I like that a lot. Thanks for the info!

Yes thanks for clarifying it for me.
