Best Items to Desynth for BCIII?

[DarthBuzzer]

It seems that the price of a single Gigantsgall weapon is roughly 20k and BCIII's are selling at around 120k on my server.

Lets say the desynth chance to obtain BCIII's from Gigantsall is 20% chance. (if anyone has any information on how often you get BCIII's from them I'd love to know) That means I'll get 1-2 BCIII every 5 desynths on average. So every 100k I spend, I get 120-240k on average.

I can't decide between leveling Alchemist for these desynths or Leatherworker for FCIII's from the bridesmaid / best man's shoes which cost 8k. The thing with Leatherworker is that you're pretty much always guaranteed to profit since there's a huge chance that you will profit off each individual desynth since you also get hard hippogryth leathers whereas with Alchemist it's much more risky because unless the BCIII return rate is pretty decent (like 33% chance or higher) then you could end up loosing a lot of money.

...since you also get hard hippogryth leathers...

You will rarely get hard hippogryph leather. You will mostly get undyed woolen cloth for the gaiters, or spruce lumber for the sandles.

Also, the shoes are 6k each, not 8k.

I only keep the FCIII's left over after I calculate what it will take from my desynth to cover the cost of the shoes themselves. You will find that for every 100, you will get anywhere from 15-30 FCIII's, 5-6 hard hippo leathers, and the rest are either the wool/lumber (some HQ) or clear demi.

I will usually have 6-10 left after costs are cleared.

So that would be about 240-400k profit for each 600k spent on average (on my server). I feel like that's a safer bet than relying on Alchemy desynth for BCIII's since the price of Gigantsgall weapons could fluctuate.

If you're lucky. Sometimes you can break even, sometimes be wildly successful. Just know that A LOT of people are already doing this, so those FCIII's can fluctuate crazily in price. It's a great secondary income source, but can be very frustrating if you're counting on it.

Personally, I would recommend LTW (FCIII), GSM (BCIII, MCIII), and FSH ($$$). Another good source of easy money with GSM is desynth brass rings of gathering, which cost 40k per hundred, and sell the FCI you get. If you have bad luck, you'll double your investment.
