Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIV! (Item Desynthesis)

[Welsper59]

Will it be something controllable to successfully do or will it be a high-risk success like it was in FFXI and with Adv Melding in FFXIV?

[Raze_Krauser]

will we be able to crack clusters into crystals and crystals into shards?

THIS!^^...for the love of god this!

[Jennika]

The level 90 gear that is currently able to be synthed is nice but in my opinion not worth using 500 or 1000 myth tomes to make.

I am excited to hear about additions to crafting, but are you adding new recipes that really make it worth the effort to desynth other items?

[Airget]

What is the purpose of implementing Desynth into the game now? Is it a means to allow players to regain "rare mats" lost from NQing a synth they are trying to HQ.

[Chukkaque]

Are we going to need to be a specific craft level in order to desynth, or can any class/job desynth?

[Zuellni]

Will desynthesis be Alchemy specific in order to give Alchemists a place among crafters? Also will I be able to turn useless fish into crystals and shards again like in 1.0?

[Hollow_Tears]

Will we be able to Desynthesis the aetheryte versions of items and the darklight/hero items or at least some of them.

[Nomad-phx]

will desynthesis work on anything crafted such as furnishings,minions,food items or only gear?

[ZReport]

Will the rate of desynthesis be as bad as FFXI?

[Epherus]

What restrictions will there be on the items that can de-synthesized, if any?(such as 0%-100% spirit bond, materia, or dungeon vs crafted gear)
