Desynthesis Endgame Guide

Had a stupendemys desynth into a Piety IV materia

[Vrmillion]

I spammed Rainbow Ribbons to level WVR from 90 to 120 with Tinker's up. I did indeed get .9, and sometimes even a full 1.0, per desynth at 90.

Is there a decent shortcut option for CUL desynth for someone who didn't cap out pre-HW? Looking to level up from fish desynthing but only got to about 75 before it started requiring the much rarer pre-HW fish. I assume you just have to bite the bullet and run with the r70 quality fish up to a certain point?

What Desynth level do you need before you can start trying to desynth the lowest level of Heavensward fish, even if it's a teeny chance?

At start of expansion, my cul desynth was 102, and i just desynthed icepicks(expansion fish) after eating a Tinker's Calm I got from a quest in the expansion.

You need 90 to desynth ilvl 120 HW fish.

I did CUL from scratch a few days ago and I'm at 176 now; 70-90~ was silver sovereigns and gigant clams, 90+ all HW fish.

Is there a large gap in between big fish and level 51 fish or does culinarian need to be over level 51 to desynth new fish. At around 75 level for desynth and cant desynth new fish

[Teiren]

In the GSM section, you recommend Hardsilver Magnifiers/Monocle for 138-148, but Hardsilver Needle from the same vendor seems to be just as good for about 5K less gil. That adds up over time.

as stated already, you need 90 desynth, player level doesnt matter.

Sorry, all hw sections need heavy updating. I actually have some calculations in the spreadsheet that tell you the best desynth at any level, taking into account the values of the resulting items. Unfortunately, I need to do several hours of data entry before it will be useful. Don't have time right now, 'cause holiday.

That gap sucks. The earliest you can desynth hw fish is actually about 85 if you use Tinker's Bacon and are okay with a 7.5% success rate. I recommend grinding to 85 with Gigantclams, then switch to r120 fish with both hq tinker's calm and hq bacon broth. Succeed 20 times and you'll be around dSkill 100.

Thanks!

Hey Neri, just wanted to point out, if nobody has yet, GSM can now get Demimog materia via the astro wep. I got x2 from a desynth, unknown if more possible but I doubt it.

Ooh, thanks!
