Manipulating level

[Chalkarts]

I don't know if I'm making this up, or if it's a real memory from when I played in live.  

 

I thought there was a way to manipulate your characters level so that you could run low level content with your level nerfed to the proper level.

 

Is this possible or am I making it up?

Ouroboros.  It let you run any content lower than what your character can currently run.  You need to be at least level 14 to be able to use it though.

Certainly, as Psyonico said Oroborus will allow you to run missions and contacts you've out leveled.  Additionally you can run lower leveled Task Forces which will cap you at the maximum level of the TF.  Do you have friends who are lower level?  Join a team with them, give them the star and bang, your level is the same as theirs.

 

When you're on a team you will automatically be either exempted down to the team leader's level if they're lower than you or you'll be sidekicked up to one level below theirs if their level is higher than yours.

 

This game is extremely team friendly allowing players of disparate levels to join a team and run missions.  The only limiting factor is Task Forces which have a MINIMUM level to join, so everyone on the team must be at least that level.  There's no maximum level, if you're higher than the Task Force cap you will be limited to the cap level, or the level of the team leader, whichever is lower.  As an example, the very popular Penny Yin TF in Independence Port has a level range of 20-25, so you MUST be level 20 or higher to join, and if you're higher than level 25 you'll be lowered to level 25 for the TF.

 

Task forces are generally a lot of fun, and they come in all level ranges with the first, Positron Part 1, having a minimum level of I believe 8.  Positron Part 2 has a level cap of 15 if I remember correctly.  The highest TF's in the game will be for levels 45-50.

You can also turn off exp, like at level 14 to finish the content between 10-15 if you are leveling to fast.  Turn on, get to 19 and finish the content to 20.  Rinse and repeat.
