Desynthesis Endgame Guide

I was wondering, is there any new "shortcuts" to take BSM desynth past militia scythes? I did not stack much primal weapons, and I would hate farming them...

The fastest way is likely: join a Nexus Light LS, and spam whatever HM primal is giving bonus light at that moment (except Titan, since you can't desynth titan items with BSM). Do them as a class that can roll need on BSM-desynthable gear.

If you really hate spamming HM primals, then your next best bet is to farm T5 if you can do that. If you can't do that either, well, go for summoning bells? BSM isn't cheap at the moment to get past 78 skill. Oh, and you can get to at least 78 skill with i55 equipment.

Not really a short cut, but you could do Frontlines and buy the Gladiator swords. Two guarranteed meld slots and i70. They can drop BCIIIs, you don't have to roll against anyone and you get a good amount of Soldiery and Poetics from them. I'm probably going to do that to about 85 or 90 and then do Summoning Bells as Nyalia suggested. T5 is a good option too. About half the weapon drops are BSM.

I've been doing this in conjunction with HM primals (Ifrit/Garuda/Moogle) since lvl 75+ and it seems to work ok. I'm at 79 BSM now and the Militia stuff just gives me only 0.02 skill so it's hardly worth it anymore. I'd like to get to 85-ish if possible before starting on bells as they are expensive and have a really low success rate X_X

I think I'm 76 and the PvP i70 Gladiator Weapons are giving me 0.25-0.35 per desynth. I'd be 80 by now if it weren't for the fact that 75% means 3 out of 12 using SE math.

I feel your pain /comfort

Lokks like a solid plan, thanks a lot Sibyll!

[Blackroses_SGS]

Fair enough, i,ll probably end up doing both, since I also am on nexus stage. Thanks! I am sitting on enough Artisan weapons that I can't pass BSM desynth if I want to finish Supra tools, and consider Artisan legs/feets.

God, sometimes I could just smash my Gamepad into the TV. Sat there for an entire day and crafted 200 items in HQ to get 20 iLevel 70 hats. Thousand of shards lost and a good portion of Gil and lots of Harvesting on my own for the materials included as well. I destroyed SIX out of the 20 hats with a 95% Chance to succeed and from the 14 I could desynth, I got ONE Field III Demimateria. Not a single Master Demimateria. Screw the RNG! Others may get 6 Master Demimateria out of 20, I know but depending on RNGesus really sucks when it is about so time consumptive items like the ones you need for the Master Demis.

This is exactly why I opted for getting gsm to 100 to be 100% sure to never break any Artisan spectacles. The cost/time needed to make one pair is too high imo to risk a fail. As for the RNG I've gone 0/27 on MC + 1/27 FC3 to 5/9 MC + 3/9 FC3. Just pure shitty luck <.<
