Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Nyalia]

Hey all,

Fishers can get NQ Gigant Clams extremely easy while they are fishing for Lucis. they have a very high hook rate compared to other i80 fish and this is probably the best way to level CUL desynth until you can do Better Crowned Pies.

Pretty solid advice there. I'll add it to the OP next update.

Hey guys! Have read the post and it helped me a lot thanks for that!

Anyway I have another question and hope some of you could answer quickly, would really appreciate it <3

What of those Artisan's items (ilv 70) can my weaver desynth. I noticed that goldsmith can desynth a certian amount of things but didn't see any the weaver can.

Hope you understand my question.

with regards Ascalon

You can desynth the Artisan Gowns and Chausses.

Only need 4 HQ Plywoods to turn in for those items.

However these gear items don't have the same desynthesis MCD yield potential that the artisan Mainhand tools do, so you are at that disadvantage. if you aren't interested in desynthesis with Blacksmith, Goldsmith, or Armorer you won't have that best yield potential, but that only really matters if you're trying to be competitive in selling MCD on the market board.

edit: You can also be desynthing wedding gear for FC3. You can desynth forager hats too, but the turn-ins for DoL hasn't been nerfed as much as DoH, they're still grindy

Hey, thanks!

But its weird, I tried to desynth artisans chausses, but there was no option for that.
And you're right. Currently I am leveling my goldsmith to 50 and wanna bring desynth up too. So there are more chances to get Mastercraft Demimateria from Mainhand items right? Does it make sense if I do it with the goldsmith then?

You can't desynth any artisan gear from Talan other than the main hands and the specs.. If the rest of the gear has become desynthable that would've been from 2.55 patch.. I didn't see any mention of it though.

So its good if I bring my goldsmith to 50 and desynth high enough to easily desynth the artisan's needle right? Sorry if I'm asking too much or simple questions but its the first time I really want to make money for a reason and it needs to be safe ^^'

Edit: Okay didn't see the post of Nyalia. That answers my question. So many thanks to all of you

Desynthesis and crafting are not linked, except that you need to have a crafting class at level 30 or higher in order to start desynthing in that class. Having a crafting class any higher than 30 has no impact on your ability to desynth things.

If you want to make your own MCDs, there are two best options (and a few okay ones):

(1) Get BSM to 30 and CRP to 50, then BSM desynth to ~85+ and CRP to 3* crafting. Make HQ Spruce Plywood, which you can trade in for Artisan's Chocobotail Saws, which you can desynth with BSM desynth.

(2) Get GSM to 30 and WVR to 50, then GSM desynth to ~85+ and WVR to 3* crafting. Make HQ Silver Brocade, which you can trade in for Artisan's Needles, which you can desynth with GSM desynth.

As a note, you'll need CRP at 50 regardless to do endgame crafting, including making HQ Silver Brocade. It's a requirement for any endgame crafting due to the skill.
