Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Teiren]

Oops. I completely forgot to stop at 100 BSM skill and test out your negative, 0% skill theory. I'm sorry. All I can say is, uh, 117 skill is required to get 100% on a Wave Harpoon (ilvl 95) with NQ Bacon Broth and HQ Tinker's Calm.

And almost on the dot, I got 5 BSM skill points from 80-100 every 20 Summoning Bells with HQ Bacon Broth and Tinker's Calm. It was surprisingly, and frustratingly, consistent. Now it's going even slower because I have to meld two materia to every single Mythrite Pugiones...but I guess I'm getting somewhere. Making a little over half my expenses back from it all, but man, it's not so fun right now. But it's cool, just wait until the Expanse weapons become desynthesizable and we can get Demimateria of the uh, Clouds (Bismarck), and everyone will want cool cloud weapons!...right?

Anyway, Mythrite Round Knives and Hatchets do indeed come from the Traveling Merchant at Tailfeather or, according to xivdb, the Vath Merchant at Loth ast Vath. Something interesting about that: At 130 skill with NQ Bacon Broth and HQ Tinker's Calm, my chance at Mythrite Stilettos is 62.50%, but with the Round Knife/Hatchet it's 72.50%. So even though they're the same class level, their recipe level is different. I didn't think that would happen until much later in class levels.
