Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Aexicas]

Just wanted to confirm that Aetherial Wheels DO give FC3 demimateria - very happy to get my hands on such a cheap craft for it =D

[Guesswhat]

I grinded my way to about 50 Artisan's Spectacles in good hopes to get enough MD for Supra. At lvl 81 GSM I found the courage to desynth 'em.
The result was: 40% blew up, 8 FC3 and 0 MD... -__-

Needles to say I'm greatly discouraged. The above took at least a month with casual+ play. I should have known. My RNG experience with this game have been atrocious to say the least.

Anyone else noticed this kinda daily demimateria exhaustion? The yield seems to get lower the more I desynth. Another limitation on grind from SE? I'm the kind of person who hordes items/currency before synthing/desynthing/buy. This tactic in regard of desynthing seems -in my experience- rather poor 'cause of the aforementioned "exhaustion".

<offtopic>Originally this post was longer. Apparently one can't wait even 5 mins before SE logs you out. This is 4th attempt to post. The solution is to copypaste from notepad. Seriously SE, what the ??! Stop wasting my time </offtopic>

You had a 71.5% desynth success change, right? 40% is unlucky, but not that unlucky. Sounds like you broke 20 where the average was 15. If you wanted to reduce that chance and had a giant number of things to desynth all at once, you might have considered using HQ Tinker's Calm, and possibly HQ Bacon Broth as well. Together, you would have had half the fail rate and wound up with 10 more successful desynths on average.

As people have pointed out on this thread and others, spectacles aren't the best method of getting MCDs anymore. Tools have a much higher yield than specs. For GSM, you could use Artisan's Needles.

I eat a NQ Beacon Broth and it was about 71%+ yeah. As I remember it, just about under half blew up. 40% is being a bit kind I think, but I'm kinda used to the bad RNG from synthin, so, shrug.

And, yeah, I overlooked the Needles. Or maybe that wan't pointed out 5-6 weeks ago when I started planing? Anyway, I found out after I bought all those spectacles ><.

Great guide btw, impressive work!

Thank you Desynth is a gamble, especially when going for MCDs. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes, you don't. My wife and I worked together a week ago to make 144 CRP tokens for 18 chocobotail saws, which took about four hours of pure crafting. We wound up getting 15 MCDs, which is about average. The last time I made those in bulk, I made about 80 for 10 saws, and wound up getting only 1 MCD. It's really a huge gamble, but the only way to get an item that's absolutely required for endgame crafting and endgame gathering. To max out all DoH/DoL classes, it takes 39 MCDs, which is a heck of a lot, given how few desynth classes have access to them and how luck-based they are to get even for the ones who do have access to them.

On the "plus" side, 3.0 will likely render all the Artisan's items obsolete, and we'll have a new desynth-only grind item that's required for all DoH/DoL stuff :P

Hope you guys don't mind me submitting some data.
- getting some BC3 and wolfram(not in screenshot) w/ Armor from current set and last set of EX dungeons.
- leveling ALC through PvP i90 PLD weap (too many wolfmarks to know what to do with)
- Scared to desynth rest of my T5 weapons..... I want to find out IF there's anything besides wootz and rose gold ingot. But I can't imagine anything else being worthwhile as Allagan Leather comes from armor/clothes....



rest of my desynth were just Aetherial Wheels and Summoning Bells,

dSkill 42-55: Electrum Needle (r47) [40% - 66%] (1-2x FC1)

i think it's not really up to date.
i can't desynth it at dskill 42 .

to reach at least 75% desynt electrum i need to reach 60dskill (desynth a huge mthyril stuff)

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that you have a 0% chance to desynth an Electrum Needle at GSM dSkill 42?

just to clairfy.
at 42dskill you've a poor 56%...so quite all desynt fails.
Better desynt a huge mythril stuff and reach at least 60
