Request HW Catchup items for Desynthesis

[HaelseMikiro]

There's honestly zero practical reason in the game to level any desynth above 100. All of the demimateria in the game can be obtained at that point. HW only added 1 single desynth-exclusive item (Stiper Stones from Aithon's Colt) and that item remained 100% useless until SB launched, and then you could just go mining for them instead.\
People leveling desynth to current levels will probably never actually see a net benefit to it compared to the work of the leveling process, unless they make it mandatory for a future relic weapon (many people will rage) or introduce new Field/Battlecraft demimateria.

If someone were to have leveled weaver desynth as soon as the expansion dropped they could of made a sick profit on dawn serge. I leveled mine 2 months after the expansion and it was still a profit to desynth twinsilk aprons. I'm sure some other professions had some profitable desynths but I have no experience with them.

OT- So basically what your saying is, "this is too much effort and I would like it to take less effort." Understandable, leveling desynths are an expensive time and money sink seemingly only meant for the rich and bored. The tough "gates" on desynthing help the lower level economy and keep everyone from leveling desynths and destroying the price of items like dawn serge too quickly. If too many people begin leveling desynths it will very quickly become a waste of time to even bother leveling them. If you think it is too much effort, do not bother.

My main complaint with how Desynth currently stands is that once prices for materials start to go down and stabilize there's no point to leveling it up past what you need for 100%. Also a single example during the launch doesn't really tell me "We still care about you fellow Desynthers!"

I'm fine with desynth being tough to level, I just want something special that rewards the time and Gil I had to invest into it, whether it's glamour or minions or new Demimateria. HW gave Desynth nothing special besides the aforementioned Stiperstone, which had no use until 4.0, and Glass Fiber, which was mainly gated behind Moogle Beast Tribe rank. Hell, the first few level 60 dungeon gear sets gave BC2 instead of BC3 for some reason.

I'd like it if having a high Desynth gave more demimateria or more than 1 kind of material. Unless SB throws a bone for Desynth then it might as well be a dead system that should've just stayed in ARR.
