Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Nyalia]

Thanks! I'll promote the aurum regis cylinders when I get around to editing the GSM guide. I wrote the HW part of the guide for most classes a long time before starting favor farming (I was stockpiling the tokens and waiting for the timer changes they put in place a while back).

Dragon Fangs, at the time, were super cheap.

First post here, the thread has benefited me greatly during my adventures in crafting and desynthing, so it's time for me to give back.I hope the information can be of some value!
With some serious lack of crafting mats, i figured i should try to get hold of some new stuff. A pair of decent priced Boltmasters slacks (NQ) should to for my experiment.

Item: Boltmasters slacks (NQ)
Weaver skill: 175.48
Desynth chance with no melds: 40%
Desynth chance with 5 melds: 65%
Desynth chance with thinkers and broth (HQ): 80%
Got to say a was abit nervous with 80%, but also very curios what i could get out of a successful attempt.
And successful it was, although the yield could have been better
Yield: 1 griffin leather (NQ) 2 clusters.
Your weaver desynthesis skill increases by 0.56!

I recently performed the same experiment with Aurum Regis Earrings of Gathering. Desynth chance was the same as the above post using all desynth buff (pentameld, pot, food).
Result was an HQ Aurum Regis Ingot.

Thanks! Looks like I was right in thinking two star would be r180. Three star is probably r200, following their established pattern. Very good to know! I wonder what two star fish will be, since one star is r180 for some reason...

Hooray, 180 GSM Desynthesis! ...I'm really running out of things to do.

Is there any reason to go over 100% on desynthesis skills? It's been a while since I last attempted this and stuck at 79% on my BSM one.

Only to be able to desynth higher level items. If you're never going to desynth something higher than what you're 100% at, then of course there's no reason That's why I opted for getting 4 classes to around 110 desynth and 1 to about 100 instead of getting 3 to 180

100 dSkill isn't "100%," it's just a level. 180 dSkill is the max at the moment, but it'll go up again in a few patches. If the level of your skill is equal to the level of the thing you're desynthing, you have a 50% chance. Higher skill, higher chance, lower skill, lower chance. 100% chance at +30, 0% chance at -30.

I see... well I'll look around first before I make any final adjustments to my dSkill.

Easing of item desynthesis:
-The skill value required to desynthesize items will be adjusted.
-The success rate and skill gains for low to mid-level desynthesis will be increased.
-The rate of skill gains when desynthesizing rare items will be increased.
