Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Rath]

Can anyone tell me what to level on as a 93 weaver? I'm kinda stuck on this T_T

I have GSM Desynth @ 167 which seems easy compared to weaver.

I ate tinkers and bacon broth and turned in all my antique tokens for weaver desynth. I had about 10 of each. I then ate another tinkers and desynthed the il115 NPC belts/sash in ishgard. From there I moved along to the next NPC with gear and did the same all the way to the repository node. I am now at 178. This route may not be as good now, but I started this the day HW came out and as I advanced the storyline on my smn I moved to the new gear at each camp.

I'm stuck at gsm desynth lvl 171, at the repository node, but the lvl 60 circlets ilvl150 don't give me much anymore, how do I get gsm desynth past 171? and what is the total cap? thnx.

[Teiren]

I'm surprised you even got to 171. I don't see any way but dungeon gear. In fact, I thought you had to go to dungeon gear at about 160, let alone 170.

I noticed in your culinarian section of the guide, the pirucuru (sp?) is listed at 17.5% catch. I was just fishing them and I was getting 1/4 with lvl 60 HW equips, but the usual bait. It took me under an hour to fish up 20 to level my desynth skill. Also...with HQ tinkers, and NQ broth I had 2.5% on better crowned pies at 76 skill. Did not read if you ever got data on the buffs increasing from a negative skill % or not.

Perfect! Thank you! I hadn't gotten that info. That's really good to know! So, 4 points below 0%, + 12.5% = 2.5%? Weird! Unless I'm messing up my math, that's telling me that each point below 0% is worth 2.5%.

The catch rates were based on what I read out of the "Cat Became Hungry" database (ff14angler.com)

I feel that WVR is actually far easier than GSM in the 125-160 range. It's a fair bit harder to get to 125 though. At WVR 93, you may want to consider taking Rainbow Halfgloves of Scouting, melding 2-4 materia to each, and desynthing those with Tinker's Bacon up. With full Tinker's Bacon and 2 melds on each, your chances at 93 of desynthing the r115 gloves is 52%. With 4 melds, it's 62%. If you aren't planning to meld, or only plan to meld once, use Rainbow Sash of Scouting instead (same mats, cheaper from merchant, only has 1 materia slot instead of 2).

Chances are that crafting the gloves will be cheaper than buying them, since they're just two rainbow cloth and one rainbow thread. If you have a retainer bring you back the rainbow cotton bolls and diremite sinew, you should be able to quicksynth the thread/cloth/gloves pretty lazily. You can also buy them for 10k from a vendor in Pillars, but check if 2x rainbow cloth, 1x rainbow thread is less than 10k on the MB or not. If it is, craft them yourself. If not, just buy them.

Check the MB. Find which mats are cheaper and which are more valuable. You want to look for Rainbow Cloth, Holy Rainbow Cloth, Ramie Cloth, Holy Raime Cloth, Chimerical Felt, Crawler Silk.

Key items:

• r115: Rainbow Sash of ... OR Rainbow Halfgloves of ... (see above)
• r125: Holy Rainbow Scarf of Scouting (9.3k from Traveling Merchant in Tailfeather), can desynth into Holy Rainbow Cloth (EY: 0.67)
• r133: Rainbow Apron (7k from Emptier of Purses), can desynth into Holy Rainbow Cloth (EY: 0.33)
• r139: Ramie Skirt (9.5k from Emptier of Purses), can desynth into Holy Rainbow Cloth (EY: 0.22) and Ramie Cloth (EY: 0.44)
• r139: Hallowed Ramie Sash of ... (11k from Zundu Sell-it), can desynth into Holy Ramie Cloth (EY: 0.5)
• r145: Chimerical Felt Corset of ... (11.4k from Goblin Trader), can desynth into Chimerical Felt (EY: 0.5) and Crawler Silk (EY: 0.33)
• r148: Chimerical Felt Sash of ... (11.9k from the Repository Node), can desynth into Chimerical Felt (EY: 0.5) and Crawler Silk (EY: 0.33)
• r150: Chimerical Felt Breeches of Healing ( from the Repository Node), can desynth into Chimerical Felt (EY: 0.44), Amphiptere Leather (EY: 0.22), and Crawler Silk (EY: 0.22)

It's up to you when to switch from one to the next, but pay attention to the resale value of the mats listed above. Switch early if the one you're working on doesn't desynth into valuable mats, but a later one does. Switch late if your current choice is much more lucrative than surrounding options. If you are making positive money off a desynth, focus on that one even if it's only giving you 0.03 exp. I got from 168 to 171 on LTW off items that gave me 0.03 each. I wasn't really trying to level, just trying to make cash, the leveling was incidental. 100 desynths is not very many. Sure, it was a million gil, but I made three million in mats off of it, so...

Hi Nya and All,

So is there anything to take Weaver Desynthesis from i160 -> i180 (Max)? Or it's just a waiting game?

[Adventica6]

Ok I managed to get Gsm desynth to 174.1 but I don't know how to get higher, dungeon gear is 160, the gsm circlets at the repository node are ilvl150 and they give 0.01, so a ilvl160 item will give hardly anything also.

Has anyone maxed gsm desynth that can tell me exactly how to get past 174.1 ? thnx

[Horobi]

Thank you for updating all this.
Has anyone else tried to convert/desynth the adept/trailblazer sets? I just noticed they could be broken down. It sounded strange to me. xD

The 5 pants I desynthed so far (they are extremelly cheap, less than 2 scripts turns in) gave me fieldcraft demi 2. Anyone got better luck?

Spam dungeons. Don't think there is any other way.

Oh, really. It sounds like dungeon gear would only be about .05 points. Hmm...I'm worried it may not even be possible to max out yet, or if it is, it's one of those insanely hardcore grinds. I say just don't worry about it anymore.
