Okay! So, the 60 dungeon gear drops BC3s. I wonder about the pre-60 dungeon gear. I've failed like, every time I broke 51-53 dungeon gear with a 95%+ chance on each. ("Eh, I could wait, but I need inventory space and there's no way this will fail! .... Okay, there's no way this will fail again!" <_<)

Has anyone broke level 60 crafted stuff (r150)? I'm guessing no one has broken the 60* stuff (r160) yet, because that would be incredibly expensive!

In other news, for GSM desynthers, according to my data so far, at max dSkill (where everything crafted/bought has a 100% success rate), you will get the most money for your time desynthing Gold Spectacles. My math tells me the BC3s you get for it outweigh the cost (at 70k per BC3), resulting in a gain of, on average, 5k profit per desynth. T

Those were my thoughts as well. However it seems they nerfed the desynth drops? I mostly got clear glass lenses from them. Altho I did get a BCIII every once a while, I didnt seem to get much of any gold back, meaning the recraft rate was next to zero for me. Tried about 15~ iirc.

Carbuncle Round Table (WVR) Carbuncle Lantern (GSM), and Carbuncle Chronometer (GSM) are all available through the OIC Quartermaster of your GC. I used these to level my GSM through the rough patch (lvl75-95)

They cost company credits though.
Round Table - 2300
Lantern - 2300
Chronometer - 3300

I really need to get the weighting down on the yields... Maybe I should go find a cheap craft that theoretically pays for itself and burn a couple hundred desynths, marking down the results. Something where there's a very large discrepancy between the ilvls/rlvls of the mats.

I've just recently noticed the same thing about lower prices for everything on Leviathan world, but I think Chimerical Felt is still pretty good. I'll go ahead and try desynthesizing 20 of those circlets and see what happens, but it seems very likely I wouldn't get Dissolvents back.

Also, I don't know what your world is like, but on Leviathan FCII is still good for 3-5K last I checked. That's really low, but at least it's higher than vendor price. :/ BCIII has been at 40K and dropping. I should have sold at the days it was 70-90K.

Three days ago when I filled out a bunch of my database with MB values, I found:

• BC1 - 3k
• BC2 - 1.2k (vendor price)
• BC3 - 70k
• FC1 - 9k
• FC2 - 1.2k (vendor price)
• FC3 - 32.5k
• Chimerical Felt - 30k
• Dhalmel Leather - 45k (I know this was 25k last night though)
• Ramie Cloth - 8k
• Ramie Thread - 2.5k
• Holy Ramie Cloth - 44k (I think this has come down)
• Holy Rainbow Cloth - 47k (This has probably come down)
• Dark Chestnut Lumber - 8.5k
• Mythrite Nugget - 4.3k

So, if your server's prices are vastly different from what I have above, keep that in mind when using my data. If my database tells you that a synth should cost 20k and it only costs you 2k (or vice versa), be advised that my database's suggestions are probably totally useless for you. That's why I need to code in some manner of override, so people on other servers with vastly different economies can use the database.

The database is like this guide, only ten times better, but a googlesheet, so it crashes ten thousand times more often. It doesn't like my current database of 1,174 items and materials, so it certainly isn't going to like it when I quadruple that by putting in all desynthable crafts for all classes. On a totally random note, someone has told me that there are exactly 5,845 desynthable items currently present in FFXIV <_< Gotta break them all!


I'll eventually datamine my database and replace the leveling guides in the OP with the new best options, at least by my server's prices, and include caveats where a choice is economy-dependent. But first, I have to enter another ~3,000 desynthable items and ~500 materials...

[Teiren]

Yeah, I see. It's always interesting to see how economies differ, so the more world data we have, the better to indicate and predict trends. Is Faerie a Legacy server? Do you know what kind of population it has? Low, Medium, High?

[Alistaire]

OP still needs to be updated that Ramuh gear is desynthable, which wasn't in the patch notes but I posted the confirmation on earlier.

Just one so far. Only gave me 1 Clear Demimateria III and 1 Cluster tho.
