desynthesis
	
	
		Since the new content, there have been items from level 115 to 220, dropped and crafted. Such a large increase in item levels and yet desynthesis has only increased to 110 with a max of 350. At 110 the level 115 gear, without food, drink, or melds, is only a 50% chance of success. Level 150 and 170 are out of reach. Why would you not make a use for the higher items? Also there needs to be something worthwhile that can be gotten on the higher level DE, other than the battlecraft III that were in demand a year ago.
Also, why are the drops in the dungeons not able to be DE'd? Such a waste of drops.

The maximum is 180 and dungeon drops are able to be desynthesised, even the current Ex Roulette gear drops.

		Max desynthesis isn't 110, pretty sure it's 200, at least my arm is at 141 atm

		I have GSM and LTH at about 130 each.  I save all my dungeon drops and spam desynth while under HQ Tinker's Calm and Bacon Broth when I have a bunch collected.

		There's actually quite a lot of similar complaint topics about problems that do not exist. I think people should play the game to verify their information first before making a complaint. There's no need to get upset about rumors or, in this case outdated information that was dug up somewhere. 
The cap for desynth skills was 110 before the expansion, but it's 180 right now. I have one of mine over 170 so far, it gets a favorable chance at desynthing i160 dungeon drops. Furthermore, next week's patch is increasing the skill gains from desynthesis so it's not so slow to level. I recommend everyone to always read the patch notes so you're aware of the latest adjustments.
