I think this was said before many pages ago, but for levelling BSM desynthesis past 200, Replica Allagan weapons really have been the best way by far for me, though possibly expensive depending on server. The two materia slots are a big reason why. Make sure you don't accidentily get Replica High Allagan weapons. Those are based on a higher recipe level, and I don't think those would be viable for levelling BSM desynthesis until at least 230, not to mention their cost is completely prohibitive anyway.

Doing at least the weekly Centurio Clan Hunt is good too. 100 seals=Antiquated Hauteclaire for BSM desynthesis.

Materia slots ? Can you expand please ? I'm not an expert at desynth, do materia slots impact the desynth rate ?

Each materia melded gives a +5% success rate

Right, and the grade and type of the materia does not matter at all! I often use Dexterity Materia III. Oddly enough, Grade III of a materia can often be cheaper than Grade I. Now that I think about it, because those replica weapons are crafted I could have also advanced melded materia to each of them...oops. Well, good thing they all succeeded.

What are the current caps for both individual & overall desynthesis? I've searched online but found conflicting information, probably because most people got bored after a while. Sadly.

Hello All, at this moment I have:
Goldsmith: 160
Weaver: 160
Letherworker: 160

How can I improve them? I improve weaver and letherworker with thavnarian parts for improve then but I don't have idea for goldsmith (yes I can go at azys and I can buy an item of 18k from vendor but after desyntesis the item don't give notthing that I can sell with a minimum of value)

Thank you for the answer

Dungeon accessories, primal weapons (from tokens and you can often get people to pass in bird farms if you say you don't want the mount), centurio seals for i170 and later i200 gear, A1S light farms, then move on to lore gear if you want/need. Still getting small skillups @ 242 even on the A1S loot though and there's really no rush to max them at this point. Also possibly the sky pirate gear or tribunal flooring depending on mat prices.

hey guys,
is bridesmaid's sandals still the best way to get FC3s or is that outdated info?

If you have time available and want to avoid spending gil, the ilvl 180 blue scrip gathering gear isn't bad. I spent some time going Chysahl, Morel, and Cuprite to build up stacks of counterfoils and scrip tokens to level weaver desynth through that level range and came out with a bunch of FC3. Leather probably has an easier time than weaver as well, but I haven't gotten around to gold yet. It won't be as fast as straight buying the sandals, but it is cheap.
