It is worth noting that this is something of an misconception, as older duties from past expansions especially would have had drastically different abilities on the [[class]]es and [[job]]s. This leads to an easier experience overall due to potency creep and job overhauls. In extreme instances, gear sync even at min ilvl would not reflect the stats of players in appropriate period gear. It can also be the case that MINE is harder than intended particularly for 2.0 jobs that have been heavily gutted at lower levels. All this was made worse by the [[Endwalker]] [[patch 6.0]] non-linear stat-squish.

General Information
Duty Finder is a tool players can use to automatically find groups for dungeons, guildhests and other group content. Player needs to unlock the dungeon or guildhest first before using the tool. Duty Finder will match players from different servers. A light party consist of 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 damage dealers (DPS).
In patch 2.1, Duty Roulette was introduced to allow randomization of duty selection with daily bonuses for certain activities.
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
Unrestricted Party
Unrestricted Party (formerly 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. However, any items in chests still drop.
- 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 to a similar degree as when the duties were first introduced. Players can select this setting in conjunction with Undersized Party setting.
- It is worth noting that this is something of an misconception, as older duties from past expansions especially would have had drastically different abilities on the classes and jobs. This leads to an easier experience overall due to potency creep and job overhauls. In extreme instances, gear sync even at min ilvl would not reflect the stats of players in appropriate period gear. It can also be the case that MINE is harder than intended particularly for 2.0 jobs that have been heavily gutted at lower levels. All this was made worse by the Endwalker patch 6.0 non-linear stat-squish. So while "Minimum ilvl, no Echo" or MINE runs are done by sections the community, it is not accurate to say that it offers "the original level of challenge."
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.
