How high have you got your desynthesis ranks?

And how are you doing it? I'm into the 80s now, and unless I've missed a mehcanic you need to be desynthing 70+ to rank up at a meaningful pace at this point, I think 90-100 is gonna take a lot of work.

77.47 gsm. I took a break yesterday since 2 stars are destroying my wallet.

77ish GSM and 72 WVR. At least when I run dungeons with the FC I can take whatever stuff to desynth for some breaks in spending on philo mats. Only have gotten one Fieldcraft Demimateria III in about 40ish tries.

A tip here, do not use 2 star, you should use vendor based horn items from aldgoat horns on the rat vendor then after that vacuum up massive amounts of gold ore when people undercut then slam out something like militia earrings, although if you want a faster market to flip i'd suggest using the militia wristlets to make fieldcraft II instead of battle which will sell faster atm.

aldgoat stuff will get you up to mid 60s/70 then the 1 star items will take you to 80 before petering out. Once you are 80 you should then move on to destroying Artisan Spectacles... as far as my own rating im well north of 80+ ;)

Edit: i'll throw in a bonus nugget, if you want mass Mastercraft Demimateria and Field 3s, just do as I said here and start destroying spectacles.

85 CUL. I ran out of my two-star stock and bought up the marketboard on high level fish. Nothing noteworthy has popped up yes besides the usual clear demimateria I/II/III trash. Getting my two-star high levels at about 64% success rate if I can remember correctly.

So food is still the garbage skill more or less compared to the others?

I'd say pretty much. Kinda of a let-down they didn't implement fieldcraft demimateria into the fish. But I'm beginning to wonder if they even care about fishing.

Edit: But breaking down meals might have more to it. I haven't gone that direction yet but I'm assuming that would probably not make the demimateria needed for a new fishing pole.

Astrolabe Clinometer. It's a worse % chance then a completed staff but I think staff would give Battlecraft.

Awesome! Thanks soooo much for this. I was afraid I'd have to desynth Artisan equipment to get Fieldcraft IIIs! This is so much less painful, though still pretty expensive.
