Desynthesis Endgame Guide

Thanks for the advice! But, why are Hardsilver Texture Hammers easier than Titanium Scythes?

Due to what he mentioned in your quote - the mats are available entirely from ventures if you choose, and hardsilver dust is a common byproduct of gatherers farming favors. Titanium on the other hand is a pita to farm in mass as it's a random spawn only from nodes.

Ah, okay, that makes sense. I didn't realize Titanium Ore wasn't obtainable from MIN ventures (again, I don't have a MIN retainer), and I haven't gotten around to using my favors yet (waiting for the changes in 3.1 they promised). Thanks!

Wish I had more crafting options trying to move into heavenward levels, but ended up spending the time to farm up all the mats I needed and crafted 100 Archaeoskin Codex's for my Alch desynth skill ups, plus the one extra book I had sitting around.

Starting Skill: 90.24
Ended at: 116.07

With no boost I would have had a 7.50% success rate. 2 melds jumped that to a 17.50% success rate, then HQ Bacon Broth and HQ Tinker's Calm brought that up to 32.50% success rate starting off.

Only ended up succeeding 47/101 of my desynth attempts. Of course Alch had to be one to hate me :/
Succeeded over half of my attempts when I skilled up GSM and WVR in the same level range trying to get over the Heavenward hump.

My skillups ranged from 0.31 at the lowest towards the end, and 0.87 at the highest near the start.

In the end I walked away with:

Lightning/Water crystals,
15 Archaeornis Leather
8 Electrum Ingots
1 HQ Electrum Ingot
11 Hippogryph Leather
6 Enchanted Mythrite Ink
15 Battlecraft Demimateria II
4 Clear Demimateria

At least I started to break in to Heavenward levels, still a long ways to go though ._.

dSkill 115???-145???: Cedar Fishing Rod (r125???) [30% - 85%] (FC???) (buy from vendor in ??? for 13,194 gil) (VERIFICATION NEEDED)

That rod is 40% @ 120 skill. No tinker's/bacon up.



idk that's the best route, got to 120 skill off Cedar crook: cedar branch+yeti fang+electrum ingot+archaeornis leather

Even @ 7k for the leather the rest being dirt cheap, seemed the best way to go for that range, then maybe holy cedar ring next, 1 holy cedar lumber + 1 varnish, and you can get a lot of holy cedar lumber from the big leves.

Edit: Also, Old World striking dummy is at least r150, still 0% @ 120 skill but I'm very curious what it desynths to so will be pushing for that.

Sorry, CRP hasn't been updated since the very beginning of 3.0, and that info isn't good. Rapidly fluctuating market prices and general apathy toward desynth in 3.0 since they gave us zero new things is making it hard for me to put in the time to update this guide... It needs CRP, ALC, and then I need to go back through all the other sections now that people have gatherers/retainers up and some prices have tanked.

For my own edification, could anyone please list the MIN retainer items? Is it everything that matters except Adamantite Ore, Hardsilver Ore, and Titanium Ore?

[Landshark]

These are the options for retainer ventures. To be honest I'm really underwhelmed by the options compared to Hunts.

Much appreciated!

I think all non-hidden, non-unspoiled items are obtainable via ventures, as far as MIN and BTN are concerned.

That's the thing, they made many common craft mats require *hidden* gathered items. This in my opinion is just another hit below the waist to crafter's. About metal has a part that is *hidden* and birch as well. Then various things as well mid HW that are unspoiled nodes as well. This just slows down crafters more then anything as gatherers will still be gathering something.

edit: old world striking dummy is crp r160

3.07 added Blueclaw Shrimp / Rock Mussel / Mogpom / Sweetfish / Blue Cloud Coral to fishing ventures. Mogpom and the coral used in a few synths that may change prefered routes.
