Those are all just example numbers. I forget what the actual numbers would be.
That's what I originally expected, but then I realized that it's not a constant 1.5% per point. When your desynth skill is within 10 points of the item's rlvl, it's 2% per point. If it's within 30, but not 10, then it's 1.5% per point. So, if it's 31 away, who knows? Maybe it's 100% per point, meaning something that's 31 above your skill will always be 0% even with all the buffs available (Careful Desynth +6 and 5 Materia melded, which is +40%, biggest possible bonus right now).

Oh, hey, someone with high CUL desynth and access to 60* fish! When you get a chance, could you please post here what your exact CUL dSkill is, and the exact chance to desynth a 60* fish with that dSkill level? You don't have to actually do the desynth, just check the %. I want to verify if they are r180 or not.

If they are r180, with 170 CUL dSkill, your chance without buffs should be exactly 30% (170-180=-10; -10*2%=-20%; 50%+(-20%)=30%).
