You can't level sync the mission fights, unless everyone is lying to me. So I can't go above the cap we set for ourselves.

So if you're group is trying to take on content at native levels, maybe just level a job you won't be using? There are 22 of them does your group need to you have all 22 available at low levels?

(also maybe try and go into a mission and set level sync?)

My black market mules should still be active (was late doing the transfer, paid a buck each to activate oh well)

I think theyre from windurst, whats the earliest mission I can do thats a battlefield? 3-2?

2-3 blah thats a long way out. Maybe one of my friends chars has an non-99 that hasnt finished missions. Doubt it though.


They have a lv1, gonna PL to 10+ quick, then enter a Microcosmic Orb fight (I have a spare from Aman I never used). This should count, right?

Test 1 - ability to sync in battlefield zones:
pass, I'm synced down within a zone specifically used for battlefield purposes. There could have been a zonewide restriction.

Test 2 - sync down in a battlefield:
Unable to do, as Micro Orbs set a level restriction of 99, because (and this is solely my theory) the fights they're copied from were lv40 BCNM's and SE just changed the backend code to change the cap to 99 instead of removing the level cap.

tabarnak


What can I freely enter that will give a battlefield status but no level cap status:


I'm pretty sure battlefield status wont block level sync.

I'm not saying someone lied to you on purpose, because that very well could be SE being lazy and changing old level capped mission and battlefields to 99 instead of removing them outright, which would prevent syncing, but I'm clearly synced in a zelos orb fight.


Bad news: This took me 45 minutes from the PL to running around to finding what to test with.
Good news: 45 min on the treadmill doing this

What kind of treadmill do you use? I'm searching for one, but have not pulled the trigger yet. (How tall are you? because apprently, height/weight/stride length all matter)

Cant really run while playing a keyboard based game.

You just reminded me of one my wife got for free from her job that's literally sitting in the corner of my room collecting dust. I should go use it right now
