Leveling Guide[*] dSkill 95-120: Agate Ring of ... (r115) [15% - 60%] (1-3x BC2) (buy from vendors in Ishgard for 10,949 gil, or craft (requires 1x Agate, 1x Basilisk Whetstone) (Note: These are so cheap compared to most r90+ items, you may even want to start sooner and use Tinker's Bacon. With Tinker's Bacon up, you have a 15% chance at dSkill 85 and a 22.5% chance at dSkill 90. If you actually do this, please post and let us know how much exp you get! It may even be as high as 1.00, if not more)

I started at 88.92, but even before that I've already desynthed most of my iLv 100 soldiery accessories using the Bacon and Tinkers. Personally I liked that much better than grinding through glasses.

All of the following are with NQ Bacon and HQ Tinkers.

• From 88.92 skill, I started with the iLv 100 Soldiery accessories I had left over. Success rate was at 39.50%, gained 0.65 skill.
• From 90.35 skill, I moved through the iLv 110 Soldiery accessories, sucess rates were about 29% and gained 0.50~0.78 skill.
• From 91.67 skill, I moved on to the iLv 120 Poetic accessories, success rates were at 14% and failed all my desynths. The reason? I didn't notice they were 120...
• From 91.67 skill, I moved to the vendor iLv 115 Agate Ring of ..., success rate 21.50%, and here's the list of skill gains, with the then desynth skill in brackets:

  ~30% (91.67) 0.79, 0.84, (93.30) 0.85, 0.75, (94.90) 0.46, 0.57, 0.50, (96.43) 0.73, 0.52,
  30.50%~35% (97.68) 0.65, 0.77, 0.74, 0.60, 0.80,
  35%~40% (101.24) 0.66, 0.63, 0.41, 0.56, 0.67,
  40%~ (104.17) 0.68, 0.42, 0.51,

  0.67, 0.36, 0.52, 0.42, 0.54, 0.47, 0.59, 0.52, 0.35, 0.31, 0.34, 0.46, 0.44, 0.46, 0.34, 0.33, 054, 0.40, 0.41, 0.31, 0.38, 0.47, 0.36, 0.48, 0.46, 0.41, 0.44, 0.35, 0.29, 0.36, 0.32, 0.25, 0.35, 0.31, 0.23, 0.35, 0.27, 0.29, 0.27, 0.18, stopped desynth at skill 121.38
  

Generally speaking I felt it was worth it. But RNG is RNG. I had 3 consecutive successes at less than 30%, and 17 consecutive failures at 5x%.
