Desynthesis Endgame Guide

Well, another patch and another Desynthesis cap with presumably nothing to show for it. I won't be doing a gigantic, detailed list like I did last time mostly because we already fully understand how the progression of success rate and skill point gain works now. Posting this here again as a reminder to myself. As an aside, it feels like that's the last time I'll have been at all excited about Desynthesis. It's sad. :(

I'll post here if I somehow find anything new from Desynthesis in 3.4.

I will edit this post with any new desynthesis findings.

Success rates for GSM 221

iLvl 220 Prototype Midan accessories 52% (can yield scintallant nuggets)
iLvl 230 Primal accessories 41%

New findings:
From an a primal accessory I got an Aurum Regis Ingot.

Desynth level 230:

Level 225 dungeon gear (Xelphatol, Gubal HM) 60%
Void Ark Gear 100%
Expeditioner Gear Level 60 3-star 85%
Augmented Primal Gear 40%

http://en.ff14angler.com/desynthesized/ is probably your best bet. Are you sure about "Thunderbolt Eel" giving SS IV's? They show Storm Chaser..

the new 225 dungeon gear can give aurum regis ingots, too

I realized that there is one new-but-not-really thing with Desynthesis this patch. Most of the gear that can now be desynthesized in this patch has materia slots, so I'd like to remind everyone that each materia melded to gear adds 5% to the Success Chance! It does not matter what grade of materia it is.

Oh, and I got an Eikon Iron Ingot and Hemicyon Leather from Prototype Midan items, so that's actually cool. Note that this has nothing to do with ilvl, just like Void Ark gear, as I got the same old items from Valkyrie's gear (Xelphatol and Great Gubal Library Hard loot) that we've been getting from dungeon gear since the beginning of Heavensward.

Hi,

Been a while since I didn't do desynthesis so i'm a little late, but the guide isn't updated anymore =/ ... Can I ask you some advices to level up my GSM, WVR and LTW please ^^' ? (167.94 / 164.53 / 181.01)

Now that aquapolis and palace of the dead have sunk the glamour market like the titanic, most of that stuff has been relegated to desynth fodder. Stuff like the thavnairian, expeditioner, and survival glamour gear are relatively cheap on the marketboard on my server. A few of them are expensive compared to the others, but there's generally a few cheap ones for weaver/leatherworker.

Thanks buddy,
I tried this for one week now and well... Didn't manage to level up that much since the price is still pretty high on my server and I had to farm them by myself ^^'.
Now I'm farming glass fiber by desynth on the craft stuff level 180 (with blue scripts) and it's, in a way, better than "glamour" stuff XD

A generally good rule is to look for items with an ilvl about 10 less than your desynthesis skill level

Hello,

Any ideas how to level BSM 180+ ?

I've been thinking i180 crafted primal weapons (should be affordable) and then i195 tools (a bit expensive for sure)

Or farm primals (ravana (i190), thordan (i205), sephirot (i220)) but gathering a poney farm for those is tedious these days ..

Would be nice to reach a dlvl 235-240 and start desynth i250 crafted weaps which are relatively cheap to make.

Centurio seals. for 180-200, do Onikiri (50 seals)
200 - 220 - Antiquated Hauteclaire

I'm still wondering what to do after I reach 220..

hey guys,
is bridesmaid's sandals still the best way to get FC3s or is that outdated info?

Its still the best way I know of.

You might want to try desynth some of the glamour gear that drops out of potd. Some of the desynthable glamour is selling for under 10k on mb on my server. If your desynth is high enough I've made tens of millions off of fc3/bc3 and other assorted items. The secret is out....i couldn't hide it any longer.

:) thank you both

I think this was said before many pages ago, but for levelling BSM desynthesis past 200, Replica Allagan weapons really have been the best way by far for me, though possibly expensive depending on server. The two materia slots are a big reason why. Make sure you don't accidentily get Replica High Allagan weapons. Those are based on a higher recipe level, and I don't think those would be viable for levelling BSM desynthesis until at least 230, not to mention their cost is completely prohibitive anyway.

Doing at least the weekly Centurio Clan Hunt is good too. 100 seals=Antiquated Hauteclaire for BSM desynthesis.

Materia slots ? Can you expand please ? I'm not an expert at desynth, do materia slots impact the desynth rate ?

Each materia melded gives a +5% success rate

Right, and the grade and type of the materia does not matter at all! I often use Dexterity Materia III. Oddly enough, Grade III of a materia can often be cheaper than Grade I. Now that I think about it, because those replica weapons are crafted I could have also advanced melded materia to each of them...oops. Well, good thing they all succeeded.

What are the current caps for both individual & overall desynthesis? I've searched online but found conflicting information, probably because most people got bored after a while. Sadly.

If you have time available and want to avoid spending gil, the ilvl 180 blue scrip gathering gear isn't bad. I spent some time going Chysahl, Morel, and Cuprite to build up stacks of counterfoils and scrip tokens to level weaver desynth through that level range and came out with a bunch of FC3. Leather probably has an easier time than weaver as well, but I haven't gotten around to gold yet. It won't be as fast as straight buying the sandals, but it is cheap.

To Culfinrandir: I forgot to check this thread for a while. The cap for a single Desynthesis skill is 250, and the total cap is 770.

Many thanks. =3

I've just hit Aurum Regis Cylinder with GSM & it's one sexy craft/desynth combo. Do any of the other classes have anything similar that stacks & can be desynthed?

[18:00]You desynthesize a filibuster's heavy gambison of fending.
[18:00]You obtain an adamantite ingot.
[18:00]You obtain 3 ice clusters.
[18:00]You obtain an earth cluster.
[18:00]Your armorer desynthesis skill increases by 1.06!

[18:01]You desynthesize a pair of filibuster's thighboots of striking.
[18:01]You obtain a circle of griffin leather.
[18:01]You obtain an earth cluster.
[18:01]You obtain 2 wind clusters.
[18:01]Your leatherworker desynthesis skill increases by 0.86!

44% chance at 224 desynth with HQ tinker bacon.

Huh, might be able to actually make some good money off those items for once since the beginning of Heavensward if I'm lucky.

Hello All, at this moment I have:
Goldsmith: 160
Weaver: 160
Letherworker: 160

How can I improve them? I improve weaver and letherworker with thavnarian parts for improve then but I don't have idea for goldsmith (yes I can go at azys and I can buy an item of 18k from vendor but after desyntesis the item don't give notthing that I can sell with a minimum of value)

Thank you for the answer

Dungeon accessories, primal weapons (from tokens and you can often get people to pass in bird farms if you say you don't want the mount), centurio seals for i170 and later i200 gear, A1S light farms, then move on to lore gear if you want/need. Still getting small skillups @ 242 even on the A1S loot though and there's really no rush to max them at this point. Also possibly the sky pirate gear or tribunal flooring depending on mat prices.

I'm working on my Z weapon and I have one question: will stuff like Aged Ring had the chance to give me the needed item with just minimun required desync?

I think I understand the question. The desynthesis percentage itself doesn't determine what you get when it desynths, only if you're likely to succeed. As long as you can desynth it you could get the items you want. It does take several tries though as they're not guaranteed.

Thanks for helping me out with this!

Are the current caps still 250 per class?

I have GSM at 223, LTW at 244, WVR at 241
Post 200 tips:
WVR/LTW: I bought tons of glamour gear from the MB for dirt cheap and made a fortune selling the FC3 and BC3's plus some of the more valuable mats. Wind, expedition, survival, high house, dinosaur, thavarianm etc. Managed to pay for a full set of IronWorks crafting gear for all 8 crafters using this method. The expedition gear will get you to about 235-240.
GSM: MB is way too expensive as are mats. So, i used Land Master earrings (trade in for crafting scrips and collectible/crafting reciept. Also very lucrative as they drop FC3 and glass fibres. From here I started crafting and desynthing Eikkon rings/earrings but you will either need to gather all the mats or spend a small fortune buying them.

I would be curious if anyone has discovered any other more efficient methods for post 200 levelling.

For gsm, just desynth the dungeon accessories. Also, greed on the accessories from a1s if you're grinding your relic. I was still getting 0.02 per desynth at 100% chance until i hit 250 desynth.

i have GSM and LTW almost capped.
unfortunately, when i desynth ARM, i got delevel in GSM or LTW.
i think i need to lock my 3 crafts (GSM, LTW and ARM), WVR is too hight.
is desynth a GSM, LTW, ARM and never touch again WVR suficient ?
do these desynth to lock my 3 craft need to have a skill-up ?

Do you have points in WVR? How desynth works is that you're given a number of points to allocate among your classes as you choose. I think the current cap per class is 250 so you get a total of 770 points to spend as you please. If, between all of your classes desynth levels combined, you meet that 770 point, then you can't progress one without losing points in another. If you want to max GSM, LTW, and ARM, you need to reset your WVR desynth.

What do you do for blacksmithing 200+? I've hit a massive brick wall.

Desynth the old i200/210 eso gear you can get from centurios now, or go murder primals for the weapons to desynth.

Peteinosaurs from the new Diadem are a miracle for leveling CUL desynth now, for those few brave souls that have stuck with it all this time. These are easily caught i220 fish that are all over the mb right now because of the new crafts and the absolute best way to push all the way to d250. Thank god!

I've found that for GSM desynth 170+ the old Doman accessories are a really good way to get levels if you have extra Centurio seals. They are only 25 seals a piece, very cheap and an excellent way to get battlecraft 3s. At around 170 my chance was about 60% with HQ bacon/calm.

As others have mentioned the blue scrip gear is good as well. I've been desynthing the Landmaster's Earrings as they're cheaper to get than Handmaster's. You can get a ton of blue scrips from the new diadem. You can also farm Eventide Jade/Periwinkle for the receipts while waiting for pops on Morel, Cuprite, etc

They're still selling too high to be good desynth fodder, at least for now. Unless the rumors I heard about them desynthing to their leather are true?
