Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Nyalia]

It's just been made public that patch 2.45 will drop in "the first half of December" so 2-3 weeks tops. I'm wondering if there is any intent to update this great guide for 2.4 content before then?

Sure, I can update it with a few things. I can't really say which Allagan stuff gives Allagan Silk, Allagan Leather, Allagan Wootz Nuggets, Arachne Velveteen, Kirimu Leather, or Woortz Nuggets. It's not just based on the desynth type, since people are reporting silk from leatherworker desynths. I haven't been farming first coil, because I'm not much of a raider. I can update it though with what I do know. Also, prices are still all over the place, so it's hard to say what's the "best" desynth these days.

Guide updated for 2.4 (mostly). Please, please let me know if anything is inaccurate or missing!

XIVDB and Lodestone disagree - what's the desynth class of the Allagan physical DPS belts (Allagan Tassets of Striking/Maiming/Aiming)? XIVDB says LTW, Lodestone says ARM. I'd like to know because I was about to start farming one of them for LTW desynth, but if that's the wrong desynth class, I won't do that :P

You desynth these with ARM, but you get leather from the desynth

Tassets would be ARM because they're made of metal ^_^

Whatever the repair class is for the item is also the desynth class. If Allagan tassets are LTW desynth/repair, it's because SE screwed it up lol. Every other tasset in the game is ARM.

xivdb is not updated. The belts used to be LTW but one of the small hotfix patches a month or two ago changed them to ARM.

- The following items incorrectly listed their desynthesis and repair class as "Leatherworker" instead of "Armorer”:
Allagan Tassets of Striking / Allagan Tassets of Aiming / Allagan Tassets of Maiming

Glad to see SE fixed their mistake

is it better to have 2 classes at 100% and 1 at 95%, or spread them out to 99,99,97 or 99,98,98?

Personally I'd prefer having 2 classes at 100 and 1 at 95. At least that way you can guarantee successful desynthesis for several really good items, rather than having a 97.5% chance or whatever... Because you just KNOW that RNG will kick your ass that one time you really need it to work in your favour lol

Also, keep in mind that SE plans to increase the cap on desynthesis from 300 to 400, so plan accordingly
