Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Horobi]

Only thing worth desynthing for since 3.0 are the glass fibers, and still, they got other sources. It was handy early 3.0 on to get materials to level up crafting, but since then.. err.. well, not really going out of my way to cap them. Weaver and goldsmith desynthings are caped naturally due to dungeon gears drops, armorer's is far behind.

Will it ever be updated?

[FinaSel]

The desynth level will be raised to 250 in the upcoming patch.
My Leatherworker is capped and GSM is at 201 now. Have tons of eso accessories in all my retainers that I plan to use to help me get close.
BSM is at 186 or so. I used Crystal Bells.

After that, I am guessing I will have to do eso (soon to be lore) weapons. I have a lot of blue scrips saved up to use also, but who knows if they will be necessary for something else in the upcoming patch.

Also, desynthing the blue scrip tools can give at least 4 glass fibers.

I'm guessing the red-scrip jewellery will get lowered to blue scrip level. Meaning 1 or 2 blue scrip tokens + a counterfoil(?) only for glass fibers. So glass fiber price should go down?

EDIT: Seems like rings are 2 blue scrips + a crafting / gathering receipt, shouldn't be too bad

[PROBOUND]

Compared to Left side gear that have a chance to drop x2 Glass fibers, the accessories will likely only have a chance to drop x1 due to the difference in Blue Scrip token requirements. #Balance

I was expecting "Demicrystal" to be a mat acquired through high-level desynth, but....

According to the patch notes：
Demicrystal: Aetherial residue seeped forth from spiritbound weapons.

Does it mean we need to convert a spirit bound weapon? What weapon could it be?

EDIT: In the general discussion section, in reply to a similar post, this was said:

It's just wording. You don't actually spiritbond the weapons to convert them into the Demicrystal. It's basically the same case with the Mastercraft Demimateria, it mentions "Spiritbond" in its flavor text, but does not actually require it as a mechanic, so it's just another desynth product.

I hope this IS true, because I'm sure many of us have spent quite a lot time upgrading our desynths. I wonder though, if this "Demicrystal" is only available from weapon desynth...

If it's from weapon desynth it only gives us a couple options. We have some new "weapons" can be desynthed, although most are quite a high hurdle.

Sephirot Gear
Horde Gear
Crafter Secondary Tools (Item level 180)
Gatherer Secondary Tools (Item Level 180)
PvP Gear (Item Level 205)
Lore Gear (Item Level 230)
Lore Gear (Item Level 240)
Midan Gear (Item Level 220)
Midan Gear (Item Level 240)
Midan Weapons (Item Level 245)

I'm guessing the bold ones will be the only option for most people. I'll be trying them on the first day in, so I'll report the results here.

[MeridaQ]

Good luck! I hope it's not just weapons or I have quite a grind ahead of me. XD

[EmiIto20]

Same, demi grind here we come :/

[OoglieBooglie]

I kinda hope it Is ONLY weapons. Got my bsm desynth at 207 with goldsmith (for the ast and blm rods) at 220. >

[Dreufo]

When I read the description for Demicrystal I was imagining:

- Acquire a high-level crafted weapon or weapon drop. Equip until spiritbond is 100%. Desynth with a 10% chance of obtaining Demicrystal.

If that's the case this will be a nightmare D:

The question is now, how high level does the weapon have to be to yield the crystal? What runs will be required to make a dent in the spiritbonding?

EDIT: If we're lucky it will just be like Demimateria of the Inferno etc. and it just comes from certain weapon and gear drops.
