Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Nyalia]

Desynthing the i55 1star gear seems to be quite expensive. I even resorted to crafting and desynthing a number of Odin head pieces but the progress was slow at this level. Anyone any tips?

I think your best bet until ~75ish skill are Wolf Winglets, craftable in the PvP section. They seem to use the cheapest materials to me. Remember you can purchase Aldgoat Horns from the Kobold Vendor for 238 gil each. These can also get you Battlecraft Demimateria IIs, which are useful.

Militia Sledgehammer is just as cheap, I think, and gets you Fieldcraft IIs if you're looking for those. Since I have plenty of them and want more Battlecraft IIs, I'm planning to focus on the Wolf Winglets.

After those two stop being good for you, you might want to get into PvP. You can get i70 Warwolf Blades for 965 Wolf Marks, which isn't too bad if you enjoy Frontlines. You can also spam Ifrit as a PLD, WAR, MNK, or DRG hoping for the weapons for those classes. There seem to be zero good crafted options for BSM at the i70 level, sadly. Your only crafted options are the i70 weapon parts, which can yield Fieldcraft Demimateria IIIs, but require 9x Coke each.
