Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[FinaSel]

I currently have my Leatherworker and Goldsmith at 250 each.
To raise them, I've been trading Poetics for Shire gear, and using Tinkerer's calm to increase my chances.

There is also a food you can make which increases Desynthesis chances. I forget the name, but it uses "Smoked Bacon" in the recipe.

You will also get a lot of good gear from dungeons to desynth at this level

What is hard for me now is Blacksmith, which is currently at 200. Weapons are expensive to buy and do not drop often.

You can get the new mats (bloodhempen yarn / gagana leather (or whatever it's called) from Shire gear and I also think from Dun Sciath gear.

The merchant in starting area is incredibly beneficial for leveling up your dSynth 250-280 .

Which merchant in which starting area? The Fringes?

How to close the gap for blacksmith ?

I'm currently at 224, weaps in starting area are 250.

I would have to reach 235-240 before starting there.

I've reach the hellish 170 where I need the damn relic weapon... pfff it's so long and hard to raise...
Couldn't SE release some mid tier white weapon...

I'm sorry I have not had time to update this guide for all the changes to desynth. I can say with certainty though that raising skills from 200 to where you can reasonably desynth 255s is hellish. I've been trying HQ Tinker's Bacon with pentamelded 255s, which gives me about a 20% chance, and I've failed every single attempt. Rather disheartening!

PvP seems the best way, but it can only do so much when each match only gets you a single desynth, and you can still fail to desynth it. I don't think there's a better way though for LTW (i205 belts are your friend) or WVR. If PvP is possible for you, I'd recommend collecting a number of them, melding one materia to each, then downing a tinker's bacon for a near 100% chance. After a bit, you shouldn't need so many buffs (but you should still meld until you can hit 100% without it).

Regarding the experience chart I made being out of date, it's very out of date. They buffed exp from desynth massively since I wrote that.

For LTW you could get belts from A1S tokens from light farm.

A bit outdated now i know, but well ..

Tips for weaver from 200-250?

I dont know if anyone has mentioned it but i went from LTW 186-220+ using bacon and tinkers to desynth the expeditioner's gear they come out of bags from PotD i just bought almost all off the MB except the head piece it didnt work id imagine it would work for weaver as well

I did hellfire blade until 238. It costs 380 poetics at iddlyshire.
The 205 blade from pvp also helps a bit.

If also you do some Nidhogg EX or Seph EX you can also get some weapons.

[Dynas]

For 200-220, do hunts. Buy 3.0 AF gear from the vendor at the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard. With the rate that hunts are being done with 3 instances for each zone right now, this method is really really fast. You will also get poetics to buy 230 gear from Idyllshire with while doing this.

So apparently at one point they were going to call Dawn Serge "Steppe Serge"



cue "literally unplayable" meme

also even without coming from desynth its own description refers to itself as "undyed steppe serge"

[Tussin]

my biggest trades i use to craft are GSM/CRP/LTW/BSM/ARM.
