Desynth Issue

[Themis]

The way I understand the patch note info:

You gain skill points for desynthing, that much is common knowledge.

Whilst working on a particular skill, you may also experience other skills going down. This is the random loss you are seeing.

When the combined total is at 300, then you will experience other skills going down.

The difference lies in the may and the will parts. One implies a chance of seeing the downlevel, the other implies a guarantee of seeing the downleve.

Exactly. And why do you care about losing 0.01 point is simply weird. I have culinarian at 70 now and every time I get other skill up for 0.5-1 I lose 0.01 culinarian that I can get back any time by desynthesizing another random lvl 45 fish. It's not that you level up one job by 0.02 and lose 0.01, just tiny decrease in those moments when you get big improvement on other jobs. Also so far haven't seen desynth skill decrease bigger than 0.01.

You must be at the very low skill levels. It costs about 100k for me every time I lose 0.01 points in GSM to get it back. That's not much, but it's not nothing.
