Is Level Sync worth coming back for?

[Zimbabwe Justice]

The idea of it really makes me wanna come back, as well as the increased exp from easy mobs. I quit like 2 or 3 months ago and was hoping I wouldn't come back, but now FFXI sounds really nice.

It's nice if you want to exp with friends and area you xp at doesn't matter to you. Also, the high lvl gear is scaled down by alot so as to not be overpowered for gear you sync to. For example, Bkote is very weak compared to Okote at 40 (2atk vs 20atk.)

I've enjoyed it so far on my WAR (57). Makes it much easier to make PT's and still get very good EXP.

How is the invite rate these days for all the jobs? I can imagine it being really fast... Are there any level ranges that get invites more than others? I can imagine the jungles being way crowded.

[Metah]

Beats me. I just search any lower level party in an area that I don't hate (Valkurm is avoided, for example), and I ask them if they want any of them jobs I want to level. You're bound to get someone looking for you pretty quick with Level Sync that way.

Areas like the jungles are pretty full again, this will keep exp at any level possible for a lot longer than a new job here or there could.

Worth coming back for if you hated waiting for ages to never get a party, not worth coming back for if you had other issues with the game.

Depends on server I guess, on Asura anyone leveling a tank job gets grabbed fast, BRD, RDM, COR obviously never seek for long either but that's the same everywhere. Melee jobs vary a lot.
Level ranges that can XP off colibris or other ridiculously easy monsters (imps, puks... most things ToAU) are the most popular by far, you bet that the best colibri camps will be taken all the time from now on. I kinda doubt any of the standard below lvl 37 camps will become overtaken, those levels fly by so fast anyway and the actual XP needed per level is still fairly low. Personally I hope I can talk more people into going to WotG areas, with all the sigil bonuses they're awesome to XP in but at low/middle levels all the muppets who used to seek never had access so getting a party there is like gold dust.

Finding parties on most of my jobs as well as the slow exp gain are what annoyed me. Both of those seem a lot better now, and I have yet to find an MMO that I've liked as much as FFXI.

I really loved WotG areas as a BST in my 40s. I tried convincing people to go there but no one ever would. It's sort of depressing. :I They really are amazing.

Well i gotta, add... its fun, if not just for dinging level 75 on a Huge Wasp near the Crag of Dem

[SephYuyX]

Dispite how much the gear is capped down to, it actually works fairly well. A big plus is that doing lvl capped stuff is so much easier; ive done promies and mammets in 75 gear on WAR, and it worked out quite well.

[nekura]

Totally worth it if you enjoy the game mechanics. Even if you don't like syncing down to lower levels, it fixes the problem where EXP becomes shitty because someone leveled.

^ right here: 17.3k/hr

no ring, 5 hours straight of this, from lv 47-55 in 5 hours.

PLD(55) COR(61) DRG(21) BLM(75) BRD(38) RNG(59)

Level synched to 21, with a RDM75 2boxed. 5 man static, swapping out a lv.20 person every 1.5 hours, when they reach 24.

[Zimbabwe Justice]

Holy crap that is amazing.



I really wanna get back in now.

It's not bad. Might want to return to see AV get wrecked, unless it gets patched early next week. LOlz.

17.3k in qufim? Wow. I dont get how syncing gets you that when theoritically you're still a level 20~ party in qufim. It was never like that before..is it because skill level is greater? XD

Edit: COR and BRD nevermind.
