Level synch

[cinnamaron]

Can anyone explain how this works for me? My main question is this, If I am a level 24 WHM solo'ing in the Dunes would I want to join the level 14 level synch xp party? Would it bring faster XP? would I be level capped at level 14 and not be able to use level 15 and higher spells?

As a whm you are not going to solo for shit to start with at that level. Im not trying to start an argument about that but im just saying other jobs are faster/safer etc.

As a whm in the dunes you can rape xp because by syncing you can get the party to all be the same level and therefore maximize your possible xp per kill without any loss for higher levels or loss in kill speed from lower levels. Beyond that generally alot of dunes parties get powerleveled and make it even faster. Add on to this the fact that you can do some books and supercharge the hell out of the party. In the past with competent players i have done enough xp in one night to go from 10-25 dunes and qufim on two different jobs.

the one thing tho is being creative in your subjob (make sure someone is /cor or cor and /bard or bard if possible) selections in those levels and use food along with proper super-tanking power leveling techniques.

As far as how sync works... generally speaking pick the lowest level person in the party and sync the entire party to them and then pick the hardest mobs that can be safely and quickly killed at that level to maximize xp/hr.

There are certain areas that are butterzones for easy xp and if you can always try to find a sync in those areas to completely avoid hard camps. The problem with this is that if it is your first time through you will be screwed from a skillup perspective so it would not be recommended. Anything under 55 get friends that can PL to get it to go faster. My east ron parties on my whm i was the puller as WHM/NIN and then a friend PLd the party from his second account.

10-17 all decent in dunes (with book)
18-24 qufim decent (with book)
25-36 try to do lower level parties
37-42 east ron (s) (best pre 55 camp)
43-54 try to do east ron
55+ try to do your current level to cap skills or whatever camp u may like or if one comes up a 37 party is still nice. Beyond that whenever you get invited to a abyssea xp party as a whm which could be in the 60s as a main healer... take it and you should be 75+ maybe even 90 that night if you got the will power.

So in other words a level synch party is a good thing even if they are much lower level than me. I haven't played since 2004 so there are a lot of major changes.

since it came out every party i have been in, except abyssea, has gotten synced even if everyone starts the same level. There is no penalty to it so you can make it so even when people level their xp doesn't change until the party levels and then everyone gets the effect.

It is not a matter of good and bad, Level Synch just help people getting on parties faster cause they don't need to be 2 levels near like before...

Example: I'm a MNK90 and you are my friend and need a MNK or a DD to help your low level party and you just can't find someone, what now? Simple, invite me and just Level Synch to any of your members and blablabla...

But something you must always remember is that when you are synched, your status goes down too! In other words, all my great high level mnk stuff will turn to crap cause of that got it!?

P.S. Reminds me that I need to level WHM and BLM from 40 to 50 and THF from 40 to 90 so look for me if you doing any of this levels party ok!? ^^
