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...
