Desynthesis Endgame Guide

I suspect that since FC3s are more affordable, more people are getting Supras, thus raising the demand for MCs.

Anybody know the most cost-effective way to get FC 2s? I have bsm and GSM at 100.

Aetheryte Rings

I agree with this. I get 6-10 for 12 rings.

I make rings and break them into HQ nuggets/FC2s. I then make the FC2s into glasses for FC3s. I sell the HQ nuggets back and they cover the cost of the NQ nuggets I buy from the MB. FC3s are mostly profit at that point even though they are down to 170k.

If you want a furniture option, Moogle flooring (or wall, whichever was less annoying) if whiskers are cheap. Can also keep riding the next lowest tier (Cushions), as success rates on furniture aren't going to be great.

Carbuncle Round Table is what you actually should be desynthing for 85-100

Thanks Seravi, Lebenoshl.

I made a Carbuncle Round Table, but the % Chance to Desynth it is 40%. So I put it away on my retainer and hope to get a few more Desynth Levels (maybe 90?) before I try. Does anyone know what Desynth Level to hit to get a decent chance at the Moogle Flooring and Carbuncle Table?

Thanks!

The moogle wall/floor is only 2 star and il70 accordingly. This will get you closer to the carbuncle round table though. I am 82 weaver and have been using the moogle path for 10-25k a synth (depends more on felt then mog whisker price) for the last 10 skill levels.

When I made the cashmere recommendation, Cashmere Fleece was running for 8k each on my server, making it significantly cheaper than other options. Remember that melds increase your chances by 5% each, so quad-melding increases your chances by 20%. At 85 skill, your chance of desynthing i90 items is 40%. Your chance of desynthing quad-melded i90 items is 60% - a significant increase.

What do you consider to be a "decent chance?" At skill 90, your chances for i90 items (three star items) is 50%. At 100 skill, your chance is only 70%. So if you're looking for a 75%+ chance on those, you are out of luck. The +20% chance from quad-melding is really nice, but even that doesn't get your chances that high.

I've been hesitant to mention this as it will cut into my profits, but I feel I should tell people that CUL desynth was ninja-buffed in 2.38. The chance to get swimwear from fish went from 5-10% to about 50-75%. It's kind of crazy.

Unfortunately for me (and fortunately for people who are not FSH/CUL desynths), this has tanked the value of the rarer swimwear (the red ones and sandals) from 4m to 1m on my server, and the common ones (the blue ones) from 1m to 100k. Blue Summer Maros are now selling for 20k and dropping, and may be a good way to level WVR desynth to max. I'm not sure what their technical ilvl is, but it should be 70 or 90.

The hats still have never sold on my server on the MB, so I have no idea if they're going down or not. Waterproof Cotton is down to 2m each. Sadly, since I FSH and my wife is the CUL desynth, we can't farm Olgoi-Khorkois, and the other Waterproof Cotton fish are really hard to catch, so we haven't been able to make any Coeurl suits for sale.

So, yeah. CUL desynth is quickly becoming useless again.
