Artisan's Spectacles and Master Demimateria

Hey, can anyone confirm if it's still possible to obtain Master Demimateria by desynthesizing Artisan's Spectactles please?

I can't see anything online to suggest it was patched out, however I just desynthesized 30 spectacles and received a grand total of 0 Master Demimateria.

Thanks to anyone who can provide info's ^^

It is still possible, you just had bad luck i did some earlier this week

ugh, I put in so much work too ;_;

well thanks for letting me know ^^

When you're in the middle of a string of 6-10 with no MCD, stop trying. Bad luck comes in patches, so does good luck. Change zones, do something else for a couple minutes, whatever, then continue trying.

I seem to have better luck with the wvr needles also than the glasses.

Thanks guys

Nuggets, nuggets everywhere :D

You assume that RNG is actually random.

RNG is a mash up of several different numbers, changing one or two of them can change your chances at an outcome.

We're all aware that this system's RNG is based on a seed, thus if you can replicate the seed you can replicate the result. However, it's extremely unlikely that the seed is derived from only one variable. In particular, when they can set a variable to something like "Server Time including seconds" to start the seed, which would immediately render the need to "change zones" or "idle for a few minutes" moot because the variables for your "bad luck" seed have already changed after one attempt.

You assume a single seed for the RNG.

I don't. I assume multiple seeds and/or variables to the seed(s). Either way, it's more likely than not that the few seconds between meld attempts, desynth attempts, or whatever your RNG situation may be, are changing your "good/bad luck string". SE wouldn't put a system like this in place if it could be manipulated or predicted so easily.

It's not a matter of being easily predicted or manipulated. It's about having a bad seed, or combination of seeds, that will drop your 20% to 10% or less until one of them changes, which could take a few minutes to change if you stay in the same spot.

It's more along the lines of counting cards at blackjack or having an uneven coin.

I have personally found that it is exceptionally easy to acquire the mats for the Artisan's Saw. All it requires is a single Spruce log (gotten from desynthing Bridesmaid's Sandals or from the MB, depending on whether you want to multitask LTW desynthing or not) and two units of horn glue (a full stack of 99 Aldgoat Horns can be bought from the Kobold vendor for 23k, turned into 49 Horn Glues, then further into 24 Spruce Plywoods, and Horn Glue can be quick synthed.)

So that's what I do whenever I have some money to burn. Make plywood, get saws, desynth the saws.

Ugh after I desynth much Artisan's Spectacle, I only got nugget and only 1 FC3. When I desynth Artisan Needle, surprisingly I got 3 MCD after 1 desynth.
