Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Nyalia]

Sorry, CRP hasn't been updated since the very beginning of 3.0, and that info isn't good. Rapidly fluctuating market prices and general apathy toward desynth in 3.0 since they gave us zero new things is making it hard for me to put in the time to update this guide... It needs CRP, ALC, and then I need to go back through all the other sections now that people have gatherers/retainers up and some prices have tanked.

For my own edification, could anyone please list the MIN retainer items? Is it everything that matters except Adamantite Ore, Hardsilver Ore, and Titanium Ore?

These are the options for retainer ventures. To be honest I'm really underwhelmed by the options compared to Hunts.

Apologies for the formatting (or lack thereof).

Much appreciated!

I think all non-hidden, non-unspoiled items are obtainable via ventures, as far as MIN and BTN are concerned.

That's the thing, they made many common craft mats require *hidden* gathered items. This in my opinion is just another hit below the waist to crafter's. About metal has a part that is *hidden* and birch as well. Then various things as well mid HW that are unspoiled nodes as well. This just slows down crafters more then anything as gatherers will still be gathering something.

3.07 added Blueclaw Shrimp / Rock Mussel / Mogpom / Sweetfish / Blue Cloud Coral to fishing ventures. Mogpom and the coral used in a few synths that may change prefered routes.

Hmm. While mogpom and blue cloud coral being there does make two more dissolvents easier to gather mats for, the other three were already easy to gather mats for via retainer ventures and often you had multiple choices of which one to use, so I'm not sure it changes stuff much. Dunno, when 3.1 comes out, I'll do some recalcs.

Incorrect. Fishing retainers were only useful for exactly 1 fish actually used in crafting before this change: Fanged Clam.

[Roth_Trailfinder]

Umm ... Blue Cloud Coral (Mind) and Mogpom (Int) were the two that had to be fished up. The other three could already be gathered by Retainer : Bear Fat (Str), Wyvern Wing (Vit), and Deepeye Tears (all) could be obtained by a combat retainer, and Mist Dill (Dex) could be gathered by a Botany retainer.

The Volcanic Rock Salt, however, still needs to be gathered by the player, at 35 per node (with King's Yield 2).

[TechnoTechie]

whoops! I misunderstood her comment to mean "the other three added fish"... upon re-reading the post I see that I was mistaken.
