[news] Desynthesis Preview (06/27/2014)

They said you could desynthesize fish you silly. ;o Obviously that's the culinarians job.

It never use to be though! Was fishers one good ability lol

[Felis]

Was hoping, because I'm sure they said it at E3 that fisher will have a desynthesis ability too and hoped they would bring back 1.0s desynthesis fish to crystals, sadly doesn't seem to be there :/

Desynthesis can be used on a number of different items including equipment, housing furnishings, and fish.

Fishers didn't get crystals from fishes during 1.0
You needed a culinarian or an alchemist for it

example of an alchemist recipe:
1 Coral Butterfly + 5 Lightning Shards = 1 Fire Crystal

As long as it gives fish it's original purpose to break down into shards/crystals etc, then I can't wait for this system

Everything in this game is a time sink, whatever new feature they add they want you to run the same thing for months, so time to spam HM primals again if you want a shiny.

Or hope your Retainers come back with a fourth Majestic Mogtome. Seriously, my Retainers keep bringing me these books. I was almost tempted to call a GM and ask if they wanted a Mogtome...

I'm pretty sure they actually said that you'd be able to desynth fish, not that FSH could desynth fish. I'd expect it to be a CUL ability.

So, which two classes are people planning to be their maxed desynth classes? I'm thinking WVR might be nice (desynth vendor-bought Undyed Velveteen into Diremite Webs, though those will quickly lose value...), BSM would be great for many of the weapons, but most people will think of that, so LTW/ALC/GSM/CRP might be better... I'm thinking CRP could get quite valuable as people really sure do like that Garuda bow. CUL might be nice too, because fish are so common these days with retainer ventures and all.

So, I think I'll probably go for CRP and BSM, and go from there.

*Classes level 30 or higher will have a skill level of at least one, which counts toward the combined 300 point maximum.

Thought I could bring 3 crafts to 100 at first but it seems like Maximum would be 2crafts at 100 one craft at 95 and five crafts with 1 Point? Does that mean someone with only 3 crafts can get all of them to 100 while someone who mastered all crafts cannot?


Edit:
* Attempting to exceed the combined 300 point maximum will lower the skill level of other classes.

Or maybe we can bring the 1point crafts down to 0points with this?

I'll go WVR and CUL (purely to use all them retainer fishes up) and possibly CRP for all the roofs they come back with

i don't think so :/

[Gramul]

Desynthesis skills for each class are independent, with a maximum level of 100. However, there is a skill point maximum of 300 that applies to all classes combined.

I don't think I like that. Sounds like you have to regrind to prevent yourself from screwing up the desynthesis of a rare item.
