Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Napp]

hey, i'm trying to level a bunch of the crafters. rather than just vender my items i'd like to desynth as much as possible to save crystals and reuse materials. i'm learning now that i can't just desynth whatever because apparently there's an overall cap for your character.

what would people recommend i level up? maybe a better question, are there jobs that i should really avoid getting desynth points in?

the easiest ones to level desynth in are LTW/WVR/GSM. due to the abundance of gear that falls into these categories.

I would avoid CUL (unless you do a crazy amount of fishing) and ALC (relatively few items to desynth). Take your pick from the rest.

I would throw CRP on this list as well. I'm too deep in it to stop now, but there are too few things for it to be worth it. I hear BSM can be expensive as hell too.

Blacksmith desynth can be as easy or hard that you want to make it. It all depends on how much you like running dungeons/primals for stuff to desynth. quite a few classes of weapons are BSM desynthable. plus there are some housing items to get you through some gaps.

I actually enjoyed lvling desynth. It was rewarding going from a low percentage of success and watch it go to a higher percentage once one desynth succeeded.

Q43:
I feel like the amount of time/effort required to level desynthesis and the returns don't match. Do you have plans to make major changes to the desynth system?

A43:
Will be making large changes to Disciples of the Hand and Land-related systems in 5.1. Desynthesis rates will be changed to be 100% guaranteed, no need to level up skills. Desynthesis will be something used when you have a surplus of something. That’s the plan we have in mind. I’ll provide more details on this when we’ve solidified the details.

Uh...not sure I like that. Do you still pick 3 skills? Or does everyone get to desynth everything, thus crashing all its value?

They gave no further information, but «crashing all its value» is hardly a good reason not to rebalance a mechanic.

I would like them to make leveling more easy and lift the 3 job restriction.
Making it all free for all seems a bit exaggerated.

[Shadygrove]

Its cheaper and easier than actually making it rewarding again.

Mind you I would prefer they made it rewarding again.
