Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Hezkezl]

I'm at 293 GSM making palladium needles cause i have a ton of pal nugs and lumber, but im getting diminishing returns. One star 70 crafts are low % and still expensive to make. Anything else I should be looking at?

*Edit*
Realized Imperial jade earrings were a higher craft level, so pushed to 301 now. Anyone max GSM, should I continue with this and any arhat accessories I get to 320? Or is there something better? I don't see any other recipes.

Once I got to ~300, I started Desynthesizing the jewelry that drops from dungeons in the Expert Roulette (Ala Mhigo, Kugane Castle, and Temple of the Fist). The Arhat-named stuff. Many runs I do now days has everybody else in the party passing on everything, so I'll sometimes get 6-7 GSM pieces to desynth by the end of the run! Capped out at 320 GSM Desynth last week after taking a break for a bit.

You can get over most hurdles using Tinker's Calm and Bacon Broth... so you should be able to craft some of the low level carpentry stuff from Stormblood, use those two, and get up to something like 40% or so. Not great, of course, but if you plow through enough of em, it'll jump up quickly.

The optimal skill rating for desynthesis will now be displayed when selecting items in the Desynthesis window or viewing item descriptions.

Looks like that should be helpful. (The notes used a sword for their example, but I'll be really glad to get that in the item descriptions for fish, which don't otherwise indicate their level.)

So uh...is Blacksmithing desynthesis just virtually impossible to seriously get past 320 skill? Unlike in ARR and HW, there don't seem to be any housing items even. It's like the only option is Chromite and Susano weapons, which is just insane. Thankfully, I got lucky with a Shinryu weapon and got some Scales, which is awesome, but I want to get my skill higher before I take that risk again.

Bomb Stoves are an option for BSM desynth.

Many months late, but yes, this indeed was better than crafting Chromite weapons. Thank you!

is there a way to increase your desynthesis rate? I keep seeing melding what do you mean by that. Do you equip you crafting gear? is that what is being referred to? I am starting to level desythesis but not sure on how to proceed etc.

[DrWho2010]

you can increase your desythesis chance by using items such as Bacon Broth and Tinker's Calm, and since one is a food and the other is a potion, you can stack their effects. Also in gear you're wanting to desynth, melding any kind of materia to it will increase the chance of successful desynth. As for how to proceed, you can follow the guide in the beginning but eventually you can just gauge your progress by looking for the desynth value that is now listed on all items you can break down and go from there compared to what you have built up.
