Question about Assault and Monster level caps

Sorry for the newbish question, but I was briefly reading over several Assault missions that I'm gonna try and start soon, and one thing that caught my attention was the level of monsters. Do these change depending on what I cap my party at? Wiki I read just had, for example, the Qiqirn and Bombs in Lebros Cave "Excavation Duty" were listed at 74-76, which I'm assuming is only for uncapped, so am I correct to believe all monsters scale down depending on what the Assault is capped at?

Re: Question about Assault and Monster level caps

Yes, they'll cap to your level. A mob that reads T-VT in an uncapped assault will still read T-VT in a 50 cap assault. I myself have done the vast majority of Assaults at 60 cap. With only 8 more to go until captains rank, there's only been 2-3 I had to do uncapped to win. But while they're still doable at lower caps, players are still much stronger when they go uncapped. So it's easier to do certain missions without caps then it is to go with caps.

And one more thing, if you're planning on doing Excavation duty by killing the rats for bombs, don't. Just get any combination of two Blm and/or Rdm and at least two strong DD and pummel the walls down.

Re: Question about Assault and Monster level caps

I did Excavation Duty already about, maybe a year ago as RDM/BLM for the whole DoT thing. Was just using the levels as an example.
