Duty Finder Unlock

Duty Finder unlocks at the same time as your first matched duty. This could be either a Guildhest or the MSQ It's Probably Pirates.

Duty Finder Settings

Duty Finder settings were introduced in patch 3.0. Players can access settings from the gear wheel icon on the top left corner of the Duty Finder menu (above the "Duty Finder" menu name).

Participation Requirements

Undersized Party

Undersized Party (referred to as unsynced by the community) allows players to participate in Duties with below minimum party member requirements. For example, running Sastasha Seagrot with 2 players. In this setting, level sync, item level sync and role requirements are ignored. Only certain duties allow undersized parties.

Defeating enemies will grant no EXP or item drops. Spiritbond also will not be gained.

Players will still receive treasure chest rewards from defeating bosses, first time completion bonuses (such as tomestones), and the EXP from completion of quests.

Minimum IL

Minimum IL or item level reduces the item levels of the entire party to that of the minimum item level requirement of the duty. It is intended for players wish to be challenged by the duties as they were when first introduced. Players can select this setting in conjunction with Undersized Party setting.

Loot Rules

Normal: Regular loot rules that enables Need, Greed and Pass system for all drops.

Greed Only: All party members must select Greed.

Lootmaster: Party Leader determines loot distribution. For each drop, party leader can manually distribute the loot to an individual party member or make the entire party choose Greed only.

Loot Rules cannot be changed once entering a duty.
Loot Rules can only be enabled by pre-made parties. They are always Normal when random players are matched by duty finder.

In patch 3.4, players can queue to play Triple Triad in The Battlehall through Duty Finder. Players can also queue in Duty Finder to play Lord of Verminion.
