Let’s revisit and see if we CAN solo some of the duties I failed to demonstrate previously! Can you solo Brayflox Longstop, Dzemael Darkhold Baelsar’s Wall and Castrum Abania Synced? Let’s find out together!
Rules of the challenge: I will attempt to do content in the order of level requirements in Final Fantasy 14, with as much difficulty as possible, while still being feasible! This means that if it is impossible with all of the restrictions, we will lift a restriction until it is possible! (or ultimately conclude it isn’t possible)
The restrictions are as follows:
1) NO other players allowed!
2) ONLY Synced
3) No Blue Mage
4) ONLY with Minimum Item Level Enabled*
5) ONLY with Silence Echo Enabled*
If an encounter is too difficult, the restrictions will be lifted from the bottom up, and with no restrictions left, we instead conclude that it cannot be done. If we discover that the content is particularly easy, we might even unequip gear pieces to make it even harder!
* Since reaching ARR postgame, it turns out that the power difference between minimum item level and regular sync is so massive that often, it appears it might not actually be possible to solo at minimum item level.

Tragic that I slept through this
Ya'll were talking about undergeared tanks in ARR dungeons, thought I would share this with you.
I was leveling AST in late Stormblood, got into Haukke and the tank was wearing level 1 glamour. Not using it AS glamour, just straight up wearing the glamour. And beyond that, they tried a big pull (and of course died, no way I'm able to heal through that). I asked why they weren't wearing actual gear, they said "gear doesn't matter in ARR" and that they were taking so much damage because they didn't have tank stance yet. The DPS were agreeing with them, and I didn't see the discussion going in the right direction so I left. For context, during Stormblood, tanks did not have a level 1 trait that reduced incoming damage. For PLD and DRK they had it as part of their tank stance, and WAR instead got increased HP on their tank stance (stances also increased enmity generation and reduced outgoing damage). Tank stances were not available until level 30.
