I would love an answer to this question as well, and if no one else tests it, will test it soon.

However, to answer the question, "at what point do you have an exactly 0% chance to desynth the HW items," the answer is either 85 OR 90 depending on the class. For BSM, there are zero r115 desynthable items. Believe me, I looked. So, for BSM, it would be 90 dSkill. For other classes like GSM, however, there are r115 items, so you can start five levels sooner.

Now, I have actually never tried desynthing something that I had a 0% chance at without any boosts and adding in boosts to see if it's possible to boost from 0% (or from below 0%). Either way, if you're boosting from 0, below 0, or just above 0, remember that in addition to tinker's bacon, you can use materia for meldable items. Pretty much all of the lowest level HW stuff is meldable. So, if you're at 90 skill and want to desynth a Mythrite Claymore, if you meld it with three materia and use Tinker's Bacon, if boosting from 0% works, you'll have a 30% desynth chance instead of 0%. Still not great, but doable. If you can boost from below 0%, you could even start earlier. I don't know what would happen though, if it's still -1.5% per level below 0 or what.
