They are 2 star, so they should desynth into fieldcraft 3's or their mats: clear glass lens or darksteel ingot. That ingot kind of prohibits it being worth spamming; I can't imagine a server having those as a lesser cost than garlean joints.

Also, Nyalia, in your OP the sources for BC 2's is a bit outdated/incomplete/whatever...from what I could figure this should be the list:

CRP: wolf guisarme (pvp)
BSM: wolf winglet or pugiones (pvp) (you had pld weapon only there, the newer ninja one is only 2 mats vs 5 but it is 2 ds nuggets so maybe that's a tossup)
ARM: cobalt chain coif
GSM: lvl 50 earrings (rubelllite, zircon, etc) (you had some i55 there)
LTW: 1-star militia choker or wolf duckbills
WVR: wolf tights
ALC: tane mahuta (you had the madman's whispering rod
CUL: (incapable)

Yeah, that list hasn't really been updated since the patch that introduced desynth. Madman's were such great sources for BC2s for so long, cheaper than Tanes with better yields, but now they're super expensive since GC Seals became required in large quantities out of the blue. All the i55 stuff is now turn-inable for GC seals, and is no longer cheap to make, nor anything that uses the same materials.

I really need to rework the guide from scratch with the new material costs, but that's a lot of work so I don't know when I'll be able to get to it. Stuff like Twinthread and Hippogryph Leather going from 1k to 4k totally changes everything, especially along with all the smaller changes (filtered water going from 1 gil to 1k gil, rose gold and darksteel nuggets going from 4k to 5-6k, etc).

And, I have no idea if prices will re-stabilize back down to the old levels once the zodiac/lucis-rush dies down... And, I have no idea if the economies of other servers are mirroring ours or not.

filtered water going from 1 gil to 1k gil

...wut?

Filtered Water has been consistently that low on your server? X_X On Balmung 500g is the bare minimum and that's extremely rare. More often than not, prices neighbour into the thousands EACH.

It HAD been that low. Not sure when it changed. Filtered Water was ~1 gil way back when I got into endgame crafting and made my crafting spreadsheet, which was back in late 2.2 or early 2.3. I'm not sure when it spiked, as I bought 198 back then and slowly went through them over the course of a few patches. I went to get more recently and I was like, what the heck, when did this get so expensive?
