I know that desynthesis is currently pointless in the game as it's level means absolutely nothing. It's probably calculated something like random()*100+round(skill/100)
That being said, the balance is horrid :
-Goldsmith is the easiest by far as you can get that with most accessories. You can easily cap that just from random dungeons drops
-Weaver/Armorer/Leatherwork are probably the standard balance as it's kinda split evenly between armors.
-Blacksmith is in the same range of the previous group ad it can use most weapons/tools, but require more currencies where the others can be obtained freely.
-Carpenter becomes more difficult, only a few weapons/tools and furnishing. Some DoL accessories used to comes like that, but it's not reliable.
-Alchemist become a lot harder ; only books and a few furnishing.
-Culinarian is probably the hardest. It starts as the easiest on expac release, but after the initial cap you only have big fish. no recipe/furnishing.
So maybe change accessories to be distributed across Goldsmith/Carpenter/Alchemist and introduce desyntable fishes.
Another option would be to merge it with Aetherial reduction for skillup and maybe effect.

Why do you need to increase/cap CUL desynth if there are no items you benefit from desynthing? You're literally just asking for more fish for the sake of "make number go up."

Exactly ! (among other things)
Heck, if it's too hard for them, lets introduce official fish creation contest ! Vegetarian 2.0 welcome !
Fishes (and its desynth) being useful is another point that should be addressed by SE at some point too ; already suggested things for that here ; still no news on that front. -

Only a few rare and low level fish are worth desynthing ( https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/w...thesis_Rewards ).
Apart that fish desynth is only useful if you need a bit of sand or to get the 10k desynth achievement (ocean fishing works wonders). None of that requires a high level of desynth.
