Desynthesis Endgame Guide

Ok I'm currently 93 GSM and I've been doing the garden ponds and carbuncle chromometers. I can verify that both give out fieldcraft 3's. Sometimes in bundles of 2. Ive noticed that the Garden Ponds are the best way to go if you are in a pinch and have access to mining and house merchants. The Kobold mart is great for mats as well. Hope this helps and I'll post a screenshot the next time I do it.

Yeah just dusted off a Garden Pond and got one these beauties.

Sprung me to GSM 100 as well.

Is there a reason why

Carpenter
Alchemist
Leatherworker

Were left out of being able to obtain Mastercraft Demimateria?

I guess the game punishes people that don't max out every crafting class?

While the ponds are not a bad idea, last I checked, Garden Ponds cost twice as much to make as Carbuncle Chronometers, and they should drop the exact same items. Of course, Tawny Latex (Terminus Putty) is a little expensive on my server (7k each, where the emery is only 10k each)...

Also, OP updated with some extra info. I now recommend leveling GSM to 75 using Aetheryte Rings, and then switching to quad-melded Gold Spectacles (I did the math, and four melds is best). You will only have a 45% chance to start, but at least on my server, succeeding the melded i90 desynth is cheaper than making 10x HQ Spicy Tomato Relish and succeeding the i70 desynth. Also, you get maybe 0.1-0.2 exp from the Artisan's Spectacles. You get 0.5.-0.65 from the Gold Spectacles.

Before you hit 100 skill (somewhere in the 90s), you will have a 100% chance to desynth the Artisan's Spectacles. I'd wait until then to start grinding out the demimateria from them.
