By all indications, World of Warcraft’s Patch 8.2.5 is on the horizon, and when it arrives on the servers, it’s going to bring one of the most group-friendly tools that the game has ever seen: party sync.

Basically, party sync takes an entire group and arranges it so that every member is put in the same quest state. This way friends can go on quests together, even if one has already finished a mission before. Want to go back and re-do a mission for laughs or a specific reward? If you have a pal who hasn’t done it yet, now you can.

Even better, the party sync system has the ability to temporarily lower high-level characters to their comrades’ level. Blizzard’s also tossing in a new recruit-a-friend panel that handles the party sync system. If this is something you’ll want to do when the patch goes live in a few weeks, you should probably read up on the instructions to get a feel for how all of this works.
