Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Teiren]

It's exactly because BC3 is the limiting factor that I'm guessing they would remove them from catchup items. I'm assuming that they would want you to have to go back and do old content for equipment from that era. That's what WoW would do with an expansion, but then again this game isn't always exactly like WoW, and because of Level Sync you can't just steamroll old content like in WoW, so maybe they'll be nice and let you get BC3 from catchup items after all.

Regardless, my educated guess is catchup items will be specially manipulated in such a way that your success chance is much higher than normal while yielding much higher skill gain than normal. Otherwise, they're going to have to add a lot of catchup items. Desynthesis works the way it does now to play with the ever-present excess of unwanted gear at max level, but when level 50 is a mere rest stop rather than the final destination where a ton of items gather, I don't think it'd be reasonable to ask people to level a desynthesis skill through 80-110, or even 70-110 for some, at the same rate as now.

As for Careful Desynthesis on gear, I think it'll be as uncommon as Increased Spiritbond Gain, or in other words there probably won't be a whole set for it but it also won't be too rare.

When it comes to tomestones, I predict that Soldiery will be scrapped immediately on, or 1 week after, 3.0 with Poetics taking its place, and whichever is the lower tier of Law/Esoterics will take Poetics's current place. Then 1 month from 3.0, which is when they plan to unlock the Alexander raid dungeon, they'll move to Law & Esoterics.
