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

Can't go to 0, the reason why classes under 30 can't desynthesis is because their skill level will be 0, need at least 1 to do it and they won't let you lock yourself out of certain class desynthesis.

You can get three to 100 if the other 5 classes are left under 30, but I really doubt those 5 missing points will matter that much.

I'm thinking about getting ALC to 50 just to be able to get my own shiny weapons, the other two I dunno yet, probably WVR and something else.

I will be frank:
This is a horrible restriction. Especially for those of us who have nearly or entirely level'd all crafts to 50 in hopes of new aspects of the crafting genre. Instead we will be punished for having more than 3 crafts past 30.

I question the logic behind this restriction. Are they trying to protect lower level crafters? Are they trying to stymie the flood of market materials?

Any answers would be appreciated.

My guess is to stop one player being able to dominate it, though personally I disagree, if we level our crafts we should be able to utilise its full potential without a restriction

Specialization I'd say.

This is the first decision oriented element that we've been given as crafters, and it's not even set in stone since you can raise and lower desynth points almost at will. Choice is (and should be) a major element in all MMO's in some way. Eventually, I imagine we'll see more of it down the line.

What I love about this game is being able to play every class. This seems like an unncessary restriction.
Although this bit:

Successfully breaking down an item with Desynthesis will raise your skill level for that class. However, this may also lower the skill level of other classes in certain instances.

Makes it sounds like you can master desynthesis with all classes, but you can't have all of them at once. If you want to raise your level on a fourth, you're gonna need to lower another one. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

It's same system XI had for crafting, you could have all at a certain level, beyond that you had set points remaining to spend between all, and raising one above a certain level would lower a similar leveled one

I hope that the desynth for primal weapons will give a 100 % chance ( at 100 desynth skill ) to get the item for the weapon +1.
I don't want to sacrifice a unique weapon that i use for vanity and farm it again because of luck because i want to craft the glowing version.

Yeah you can switch your master classes anytime you want, but you can only have 3 masters at a given time. And then there's also the effort of getting a 4th to master just for breaking a couple rare items.

"On occasion, players will also receive special items that can only be obtained through use of Desynthesis."

Dunno, that doesn't sound like 100%, the truth is they want you farming HM trials again.

You can send the glamoured weapon to your retainer inventory and try to get a second one for breaking.

It's not a punishment, it's called balance - Remember that's what yoshi p is all about (after the irony of people complaining about Matsui and Tanaka balancing out FFXI yet loving every aspect of balance in the same fashion that Yoshi P does.)
