Desynthesis Endgame Guide

Well, if I stop putting it off and I get to 100 BSM skill and beyond, what do you think I should test this on? I imagine checking with some weapon that's ilvl 133 at 102 skill and then 103 skill? Rlvl equals ilvl with those weapons, right?

Not necessarily, if it's not dungeon loot. Here are the r133 crafted, BSM-desynthable weapons:

Titanium Axe
Titanium Bastard Sword
Titanium Claymore
Titanium Jamadhars
Titanium Pugiones
Titanium-barreled Arquebus

Ah, melding...of course. But yeah, I'll stick with Summoning Bells all the way to 100 probably. It's not that bad as long as my friends don't get tired of me. :P

And my best guess about being able to boost from 0% is that you can, but it goes into the negatives. In other words, if 90 skill meant exactly 0% chance, then you boost it from there, but if 86 skill was -6% chance (which would display as 0%), and you boosted it by 10%, you'd have a 4% chance of success. Those are all just example numbers. I forget what the actual numbers would be.

Sitting on 170/171/172 on ARM/GSM/WVR atm. 145, 150 stuff only give 0.03 skillup, or less. Dungeon drops 0.10->0.20. Max is 180, I presume.

Ohh ty for the info rescue, well now to get those folkore tomes and try to confirm that dusk leather came from 60* star desynth, yep those seems 180 desynth because stormcatcher is 60* and when i had skill 165.46 chances were just 22.50%, now that im at 170.52 need to catch it again and see, though im think stormcatcher is the only 60* that not need folklore to catch them

I was 84.67 this morning in Culinarian Desynth, I used a bunch of the gear ive been stashing on my retainer to cap out my seals and buy glacier crystals in mor dhona. I turned those in for 20 better crowned pies and blew them all up under a hq tinkers calm and nq bacon bread. That took me to almost 89, then still under the buff I had a 10% chance on icepicks. I bought 300 off the mb for dirt cheap and burned them all down under two tinkrers calm in ten minutes. I finished off with sky fairies, and then star fairies and threw in some philosophers stones and illuminati perch for good measure. One hour later I'm now 150 culinarian desynth...

Where to go from 166 Cul desynth?

is there a reason the i85 crafting tools can't be desynthed?

I've been struggling to get my crp and bsm desynth high enough for the i115 stuff and this seemed like a good place to go, but I made a Mythrite Halfheart Saw to desynth and it said it couldn't be desynthed. It wasn't my level either, there was no 0.00% like with the other stuff I'm just not high enough level to do. Farming primals is tedious and takes alot longer than it should for something that isn't anywhere near cap anymore.

Remember that ilvl (item level) does not always equal what I've been calling "rlvl" (Recipe Level, though it turns out the game uses that term for something slightly different, so I've deemed their Recipe Level to be "Craft Level" ("clvl")). The rlvl is all that matters for desynth, not the item level. otherwise, those Bridesmaid's shoes (which are i1, but r70) would have been desynthable by anyone, not only people with high LTW desynth, and they would have dropped no demimateria at all.

That Mythrite Halfhart Saw, despite being i85, is r125. You'd need a skill of ~110 to start on that.

And yes, that item is desynthable.
