Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Teiren]

If you are a crafter and can get blue scripts I believe some of the main hands are bsm so might be able to use those to get over 200. It does require collectable synthesis but for me it is a lot less painful than running dungeons. I had been lvling weaver with that but I know I am not capped yet.

Oh yeah, that's a good idea. I haven't gotten into crafting in Heavensward like I did in ARR, so I forgot that. Thanks.

To Snugglebutt, the cap is 220.

To Tehol, honestly... it's a real shame, but there are still no special endgame items from Desynthesis in Heavensward except for Glass Fibers from Void Ark gear. And even then, the primary method of getting Glass Fibers is through Moogle dailies, though Desynthesis is the only way to get HQ Glass Fiber.

Was desynthing from 120-140. I found that Yeti Fang Earrings are also perfect for this, far more successful than Dragon Fang Earrings. (depending on the price of Mythrite nuggets on your server, or if you're willing to spend on Gnath vendors)

From 140-160 I think Yeti Fang Ring of... are entirely viable. Haven't gotten further than this yet.

From 90 - 120, I found that if you're farming Shiva Extreme unsynced, almost everything is GSM (only the Codices are Alchemy). The weapons are easier to desynth until 100+ then you can start on the accessories.

The Agate rings make a great filler between runs from 90-120.

What is the newest caps because my CUL is at 217.20 which seems bit higher than I thought the cap would be. I thought it would of stopped at around 210-215.

[Tehol]

Is it worth levelling ALC desynth to 220? What are the endgame items you can get via desynth from alchemist?

[Alistaire]

For whatever reason, you can't desynth while in Palace of the Dead. Just says it's unavailable.

I'm just learning about Desynth now, and trying to decide what Skills to focus on.

Has anything important changed about the benefits/products of each Skill in the 3.1-3.3 updates, after the OP was last updated? I know the decision will be somewhat personal based on my own needs and crafting habits, but I would like to make a well-informed decision before investing in the process.

So I've got LTW to 211 and just got my WVR to 195. Blue scrip gear is ridiculously effective for both leveling desynth AND making money back at the same time. Tinker's Calm and Bacon Broth if it's not overly expensive should be the gap closer from 170-200 then you can do Void Ark gear (fails a lot) or eso gear. BSM is 136 right now also

BSM/ARM/CRP to d220 seem to be very tedious in comparison to the other classes. Each i180 MH turn-in requires 12 Blue Tokens instead of 3. It effectively takes 4 times the amount of effort to cap BSM/ARM/CRP for no foreseeable reward or advantage.

I found a very good recipe to get BSM from d160-d190 (Crystal Bells) which also provide a good source of Fieldcraft IIIs, However the grind from d190-220 looks like its gonna break the bank and keep us tied down for prolonged periods of time.

Our options seem to be limited to i170 MH/OH's which would require large quantities of Fieldcraft III's as well as Favor materials or Pudding Floor Lamps which would require a lot of Tincalconite (airship venture matt). Neither seem very feasible. The only advantage to the i170 over the i180 Tools is that you can meld them to increase the % chance of a successful desynth.

Has anyone here capped BSM to d220? If so what items did you grind off?

[Wodge]

I might just stop working on BSM cuz it's really only good for getting FC3 and MCD from Mor Dhona. Seems like it will be crazy expensive to level it all the way with not as much return.

[Teiren]

The only viable path for BSM for me is through Esoterics for Antiquated Hauteclaire or joining Ravana Extreme mount farms. And it's still ridiculous. Honestly, nothing good has happened for Desynthesis in the expansion. It's sad.
