Bug: level/item level sync does not work properly in certain circumstances

[xiashtra]

FFXIV considers both the level and item level of the item when syncing gear. For example, using lvl 94, ilvl 663 gear fully pentamelded, and then syncing to lvl 90, ilvl 665, all materia melds on the gear will be ignored, since it is being synced from lvl 94 -> lvl 90, even though ilvl 663 is below the maximum of ilvl 665 possible at lvl 90. This is primarily relevant to creating gearsets for Criterion, as both AMR and AAI are force synced to lvl 90, ilvl 665.

Xivgear currently only considers item level when syncing, which leads to including materia on gear that the game would ignore.

Example set: https://xivgear.app/?page=sl%7Cca769fdb-0f40-4a78-943f-f4b3b7228dc5 All materia should be ignored here, as it is syncing lvl 94 gear to lvl 90.

Some additional information:

Testing in P12S, level synced (from lvl 100 to lvl 90; item level sync not specifically enabled) showed the following:

• lvl 90, ilvl 660 gear is not synced at all, and materia is included (as expected)
• lvl 90, ilvl 665 relic weapon is not synced
• lvl 94, ilvl 663 gear and weapon is synced to lvl 90, ilvl 660 stats, materia ignored
• lvl 95, ilvl 666 gear is synced to lvl 90, ilvl 660 stats, materia ignored
• lvl 96, ilvl 669 gear is synced to lvl 90, ilvl 660 stats, materia ignored
• lvl 100 gear and weapon is synced to lvl 90, ilvl 660 stats, materia ignored

Testing in Aloalo Island (forced level and item level sync from lvl 100 to lvl 90, ilvl 665) showed the following:

• lvl 90, ilvl 660 gear is not synced at all, and materia is included (as expected)
• lvl 90, ilvl 665 relic weapon is not synced
• lvl 94, ilvl 663 gear and weapon is synced to lvl 90, ilvl 660 stats, materia ignored
• lvl 95, ilvl 666 gear is synced to lvl 90, ilvl 665 stats, materia ignored
• lvl 96, ilvl 669 gear is synced to lvl 90, ilvl 665 stats, materia ignored
• lvl 100 gear and weapon is synced to lvl 90, ilvl 665 stats, materia ignored

One thing I can't seem to figure out from the data alone is - why does 94/663 get synced to 660, but 100 gets synced to 665? Is it just because 663 is already less than 665, so it forces it down to 660?

Best guess? Probably something like that. There's nothing else between 660 and 665, so it's really just that one set that might cause an issue.

Edit: It might also have something to do with gear rarity? The 94 set is common greys, though I did test with the HQ variant.

I'm going to try and get a hold of the 91/92/93 leveling gear and make sure there's no other surprises.

Would be interesting to see what happens with a level 90 item (Riversbreath set) since it's lvl 91 i650, and 650 is lower than both 660 and 665.
