Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Kiara]

Hi Nyalia and All,

SO happy about the updates for Patch 2.5. Looks like we *won't* lose Desynthesis Levels / Points when we Desynth other classes, unless we're at Maximum! Excellent.

And they raised the Maximum Desynth Level.

But I wonder why it's such an odd number (350)? 110 + 110 + 110 = 330. I guess they're letting players experiment on a 4th crafting class (but only 20 points? Why?).

It would've been nice to open it up to 440 + 1 point in each of the non-used classes instead. Patch Notes:

• The level cap for desynthesis has been increased.
• The level cap for each class has been increased from 100 to 110.110
• The cumulative skill point maximum has been increased from 300 to 350.350

Skill levels will no longer decrease if your combined skill level is not at the maximum.

Great guide. I have WVR and ALC leveled, and decided to delevel GSM in order to level BSM.

I wanted to suggest that you replace Mythril File in your guide with Mythril Head knife (you even mention that there is probably a better option). There are two main reasons: first, boar leather on my server is more expensive than oak lumber (which may be purchased from the ixali vendor), but more than that, I am getting FC I demi, which currently sell for 8-10k on my server.

Thanks!

Hi Kiara,

To answer your question... Unfortunately the change you recommended would have adverse effects because 440 (4 classes at 110 cap) + 4 (remaining 4 classes at base 1) would equal 444 and also mean you would be at the maximum points, therefore you can and will lose skill in a random class each time you desynth. None of us want this, so having 330 (3 classes at 110 cap) + 5 (remaining 5 classes at base 1) would equal 335 and also mean we have 15 points spare. I don't think those 15 points are for "experimenting", I'm pretty sure they did that so that we could pick 3 classes and safely have those at maximum with no risk to losing skill (provided you never put those spare 15 points into a 4th class).

Make sense?

Seems to me like SE really wants us to only pick 3 desynth classes, not 4. If they wanted us to have 4 at max they would probably have set the point cap at 450 instead of 350.
