Joining parties to enter restricted quests?

[Cathode]

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to take a low'ish level character into hard mode or areas like the Tundra.

The amount of grind and lack of content caused a friend of mine to quit pso2 for now, though I kept on playing. Would it be possible to take them into hard mode with me? (they haven't unlocked it yet)

Thanks!

They can but you still need to be at the level requirement for the area/quest though and you have to have hard mode unlocked as well.

Last part confused me a tad bit.....so as long as let's say, a lvl25 host has access to hard mode desert quests, they can can bring a lvl18 with them?

Nope.

players below the required level cannot access a mission that has a min level above their current level. so no, you CANNOT bring a lv18 into hard desert.

If the level 18 has hard mode unlocked.

If the level 18 has hard mode unlocked.

pretty sure hard desert is level 25 min to even be able to enter. As far as I know you have to unlock hard mode AND be the min level requirement to even join anything in hard mode. You could be level 30 and if you havent done the hard mode quest you couldnt even join hard forest level 21 enemies lol

For hard mode quests, they need to be able to enter it themselves in order to join you
The exception would be if you get them to level 30, they could join you in Tundra before unlocking it themselves. But it's an extremely easy client order now, and would likely never happen unless you just grind Ragne city with them

Ok this makes a little more sense now.

So what if they have hard mode unlocked, what are the restrictions then?

EDIT: To be more specific - If they have hard mode unlocked but aren't lvl25 to do hard mode desert yet or if I unlock the Tundra/Mines/etc, are they allowed?

You have to be at the minimum level to enter the area in order to join the party
