Desynthesis Endgame Guide

Why must the higher level ones be such a pain?... I mean ultimate pain...

This is an awesome resource, just what I was looking for!

I was wondering if any new items gave mastercraft, it seems as though no one has found them yet (if there are any).

Yeah, so far, I'm really disappointed. I suppose that the new artisan/foragers body pieces as well as the new artisan/foragers offhands should all be able to give MCDs, but since the body pieces take MCDs, I wouldn't try that! The artisan/foragers offhands cost 6x Sealant, so I doubt anyone will try desynthing them anytime soon either. I really wish the i70 Ixali smithing gloves were desynthable for MCDs - it would give LTW a way to get MCDs, it would make sense, and it would be balanced since attempting that would be in lieu of attempting to get Sealant.

Ah well... here's hoping that the tier2 tokens CAN give MCDs, but people who have desynthed them have just been unlucky so far.

Is there a cheaper way other than cashmere for weaver desynth around level 90?

Run the new dungeons and use the tokens there to get Myth gear that can be desynthed by a weaver. Or, run coil turns 1-5 (except 3) for equipment that can be desynthed by a weaver. I recommend T4 as as SCH, WHM, BLM, or SMN, as they can Need on two WVR-desynthable pieces each.

Those are the cheapest ways, if slow.

Allagan WVR desythesis gear has a chance of giving Arachne Velveteen which is extremely useful for lessening the amount of mats required for 4 star i110 gears. Not sure if this was mentioned yet already.

Oh! I heard it gave silk, not velveteen! Can it also give the silk?

[Lyrinn]

There is a chance for either, though from my experience you're much more likely to get silk than velveteen.

[Nyalia]

Good info, thanks guys!

I ended up with 5 silk and a velveteen from desynthing a handful of random Allagan I had in storage. Wouldn't call it a proper ratio but just a frame of reference.
