Entering a Duty with Your Current Character Level

Your character level will normally be synced to the recommended level upon entering a duty such as a dungeon (level sync). Turning on the Unrestricted Party function disables level sync and your character level will remain the same in duties.

To activate this function, open Duty Finder under the Duty section of the main menu and select the gear icon on the upper left corner to open the Duty Finder settings, then select the Unrestricted Party button.

This function also allows you to participate in duties without meeting role or minimum size requirements. Make use of it according to what you need!

Please note that enemies do not yield EXP and gear does not gain spiritbond when the unrestricted party function is activated.

* This function is available only for duties that allow unrestricted parties.
* When in a party, only the party leader’s settings are applicable.
