Desynthesis Endgame Guide

Given the thread's activity level, ...

On that note, if someone wants to take over doing the research and writing for this thread, I can post their edits to the OP. I don't have time to do economy analysis, run the calculations I used to that determine which items are the cheapest to use to level with current mat prices, or even to gather together the data posted in various places on what newly desynthable items drop what. I don't even log in every week, just enough so I don't lose my house. But, I do check these forums every now and then, and could copy/paste stuff into the OP if someone else wrote it.

If you're interested in updating the thread, send me an email. Posting external personal contact information (like email addresses) on this forum is against ToS, but if you follow the link in my sig to one of the airship logs spreadsheets, you can find contact info for me there.

Did the desynth level get pushed up recently? Or can it go past 180 but truly "cap" at 180? I'm sitting at 182 with CUL.

220 each per craft, again with 20 points left over once you cap 3 for leeway.

Law and esoterics gear as well as both gordias sets are now desynthable as well as the newest dungeon gear.

The only oddity is void ark gear is not.

i220 craft not hq is very simple and cheap to make. At 200 desynth without buff you have 40% luck of desynth it. After you have the potion, food and you can put some cheap materia on it for upgrade your luck ^^

Which crafts are you referring to? Do you mean the new SB grind items, like the sewing needles? I thought those weren't desynthable...

[Mandoska-Beauregard]

the last craft expert IV book with all the 220 fighter stuff can be desynth.

What is the best source of Battlecraft IIIs?

BTW, I really don't feel Bridesmaid sandals (for Fieldcraft IIIs) at 25k a pop are that great. There are other awesome free ways to get these =)

Which are..?

Talan slashed his asking prices for artisan tools and gear down to a quarter of what he wanted previously.

You can now get Artisan's Spectacles for any of the following:
2 HQ Spicy Tomato Relish
2 HQ Spirits of Salt
1 HQ Darksteel Hook
1 HQ Darksteel Wire
1 HQ Gryphonskin Strap
1 HQ Rose Gold Cog*
1 HQ Silver Brocade
1 HQ Spruce Plywood

* The spectacles can desynth into Rose Gold Nuggets, which are used to make Rose Gold Cogs.
