Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Nylisa]

I've been Desynthesizing over 500-600 lvl +51 fishes so far nothing worth mentioning Besides the fact that they are a fantastic source of Crystals,1 to 3 crystal each and most of them drop two type of crystal (water crystal guaranteed) and my Desynthsis lvl is at 162.92 now.

It appears there are no new swimsuit or any type of new clothes available from Culinary Desynthsis Yet,then again we barely have any rare/hard to catch fish available in this patch.

We know from datamines that there are no new glamour-only items beyond the Spotted Spencer (from the new Odin-like FATE), the Thav sets (and we've established that the mats for them come from Dragonskin Maps), and the Wild Rose set (which is from Veteran Rewards). So there's no reason to look for swimsuits - they aren't out yet. The thing to look out for with FSH desynth is rare mats, high grade materia (some 2.4 legendaries gave grade IV materia, so more new fish could too), and, err, that's it really. However, there aren't any new "green" fish yet, and all interesting items have always been obtained from "green" fish. I suspect those will be 60** and 60*** fish that will be added in 3.1 or 3.2. Leveling FSH and CUL Desynth now will get you ready for when they do release new stuff, but it's not here yet.

That said, FSH/CUL is the only desynth where you can send out a retainer for 10 high level desynthable items an hour, and where you want to do that anyway to level the retainer. I handed my wife a stack of 100 Ice Faeries at one point. She partook of the Tinker's Bacon, and leveled like, 30 times in ten minutes. She's ~150 CUL Desynth now, with little effort put into fishing. I'm 55 FSH and she's 53 FSH and we only fish for the daily GC turnins right now. That's some easy leveling!
