Desynthesis Endgame Guide

I was wondering, is there any new "shortcuts" to take BSM desynth past militia scythes? I did not stack much primal weapons, and I would hate farming them...

The fastest way is likely: join a Nexus Light LS, and spam whatever HM primal is giving bonus light at that moment (except Titan, since you can't desynth titan items with BSM). Do them as a class that can roll need on BSM-desynthable gear.

If you really hate spamming HM primals, then your next best bet is to farm T5 if you can do that. If you can't do that either, well, go for summoning bells? BSM isn't cheap at the moment to get past 78 skill. Oh, and you can get to at least 78 skill with i55 equipment.

Not really a short cut, but you could do Frontlines and buy the Gladiator swords. Two guarranteed meld slots and i70. They can drop BCIIIs, you don't have to roll against anyone and you get a good amount of Soldiery and Poetics from them. I'm probably going to do that to about 85 or 90 and then do Summoning Bells as Nyalia suggested. T5 is a good option too. About half the weapon drops are BSM.

I've been doing this in conjunction with HM primals (Ifrit/Garuda/Moogle) since lvl 75+ and it seems to work ok. I'm at 79 BSM now and the Militia stuff just gives me only 0.02 skill so it's hardly worth it anymore. I'd like to get to 85-ish if possible before starting on bells as they are expensive and have a really low success rate X_X

I think I'm 76 and the PvP i70 Gladiator Weapons are giving me 0.25-0.35 per desynth. I'd be 80 by now if it weren't for the fact that 75% means 3 out of 12 using SE math.
