    Here is something interesting although maybe not incredibly useful, gear from Ramuh items seems to have a chance to give type IV materia. Maybe this is similar to Shiva gear, as you mentioned in your guide. Since they don't have their own demimateria like the other primals, maybe they get regular materia. I wonder if Leviathan has the same.

    I got a Battlecraft Demi III from one of the Valerian pieces from the Expert Roulette dungeons. So it's not just BC2s

    Thank you both for the reports. And yes, it seems like Shiva/Ramuh items can definitely give IVs. It's good to know the accessories can as well as the weapons. I don't know about Levi - no one has reported on that, and I don't generally run Ex Primals. The BC3 thing is something I've noticed, but haven't gotten around to updating the OP with. By any chance, has anyone gotten more than 1 BC3 from the r160 dungeon stuff?

    I've been really behind with desynth updates. Desynth just hasn't mattered much to me lately since there's nothing new, special, or unique in 3.0 in regards to desynth. It was a good way to get mats before tons of people hit 60 on gathering classes, but now that's not even really useful anymore. I'm hoping desynth will be interesting again in 3.1...

    I'm getting really worried too. It's a little upsetting that they simply "reset" everything; that is, BCII from 50-60 levelling dungeon gear and BCIII from max level dungeon gear just like in ARR. I've got a sizable stockpile of BCIII now, but now I'm expecting a new BCIV in 3.1. Though to be honest, I think it's more likely nothing will happen with desynthesis until 3.2. I'm worried they had no serious plans for the whole thing.

    I mean, it's a big investment, and I hate the thought of it being a "Bridge to Nowhere."

    Well, no matter what they do, it's still a way to make use of the random garbage dropped by endgame dungeons, and it's still a cheaper way to get Adamantite Nuggets on my server than buying them (or the ore). Adamantite is at least 20k each on the MB, and desynthing is a 33% chance from a 12k item, for a cost of 36k per adamantite, but that also comes with more than 16k in other mats. It doesn't save me a ton of money, but at least 1 in 5 are HQ, which I wouldn't get from the MB for that cheap.

    I'm also still using LTW desynth to get super-cheap FC3s for my i170 crafted crafting/gathering gear.

    Ah, I suppose I never added it up, but I guess it is more significant than I'm giving it credit for. It's just not as blatant as stuff like 500K+ Demimateria in ARR, and I'm slightly bitter about totally missing that train. :P Won't happen this time!

    Are MCDs or FC3s spiking at all on your server due to two star crafter recipes? I wouldn't think they'd go up much, but if not many people are desynth-farming where you come from, they might be at least somewhat profitable now?

    But yeah, totally agree =\

    I've updated the guide with 3.0 guides for ALC and CRP (finally). I've also reformatted it to make it easier to navigate. Everything is now hidden behind spoiler tags, so you can expand only the sections you're interested in. That should make the guide significantly easier to use.

    Please let me know if you have any feedback on the guide's contents or format. And yes, I am aware that I have some sub-optimal suggestions for various classes now that prices have mostly stabilized. I just haven't had the time to revisit them yet. When I have a chance, I'll update the guide with craftable alternatives for Red Scrip farmers who have tons of specific materials as a side effect of using Favors. I believe the items Favor farmers will have in excess are Hardsilver Sand, Cloud Mica, Birch Logs (to a lesser extent since they're hidden), Raw Carnelian, Raw Opal, and Raw Citrine? I guess Aurum Regis Sand too, but to a lesser extent since that favor item isn't as useful. Are there any more I'm missing here? Also, I need to change the suggestions to avoid Titanium, since the ore is hidden in a sub-60 node, so it's a pain to gather (as people pointed out to me earlier in this thread).

    Aurum Regis Sand is needed for a lot of recipes, and is a Retainer Venture target. So, you can assume people stock it in whatever quantities they deem appropriate!
