Desynthesis Endgame Guide

[Nyonmyan]

Vath vendor sells i125 belts for 9,9k, they give wyrmskin leather and rainbow thread.

I'm doing fisher now and there's an alternative way of leveling from d50.
Instead of trying to fish i55 and other rare stuff I simply purchase (MB) and desynth sky fish (Cloud Cutter, Cloud Jellyfish, Skyfish, Rift Sailor). It cost as low as 10 gil and gives useless stuff + Water and Wind crystal (worth 150-350 gil atm).
Fish gives about 0.10-0.15 at d60 and have ~74% chance to succeed.

Some info on LTW
Wyvernskin gloves of casting - rose gold nugget
Wyvernskin boots of casting - rose gold nugget, rainbow cloth
Wyvernskin gloves of fending - rainbow cloth, archaeornis skin
Dhalmwhatever jacket of aiming (i133) - ramie cloth
Wyvernskin gloves of maiming - x2 mythrite ingot
Wyvernskin boots of fending - archaeornis skin, rose gold nugget, rubber
Wyvernskin boots of maiming - mythrite nugget, rainbow cloth, rubber

wyv boots of aiming - mythrite rivets
dhalm belt - titanium nugget, dhalm leather x2
dhalm jacket of striking - rose gold nugget, titanium nugget
dhalm armguards of aiming - hardsilver nugget x2
dhalm cracows of healing - ramie cloth

Dhalm stuff gives 0.08-0.11 at d150.

For Leatherworking, the Moogle vender near Zenith has some belts in Field gear that only cost 7100-ish gil that you can use at the higher levels to boost. I don't think you can Desynth until around 125 or so with any decent regularity I am 140 ish and it still gives .2 to .3 per desynth. Will get percentage when I get home.

It gives Wyvern Leather and Mythrite Ingots.

There are also Weaver and I believe goldsmith items there for low prices.

Results are:
Skill level 141 Chance for desynthesis 66% .18-.26 gain
Skill level 143 Chance 70% still seeing about .18-.24 gain

So I've desynthed the last two dungeons weaver item drops, and they give both holy ramie thread and chimerical felt.

Also something important I've noticed is that all of the currently available desynthisizable gear has only yielded Battlecraft Demimateria 2 or Fieldcraft Demimateria 2 (etc)

I'm assuming, because this is odd, that there will be gear in the future with much more profitable yields and perhaps a continuation of the "exclusive to desynth" demimateria, or something like it.

They're holding back on the goodies, if all we can get is demimateria 2 right now.
They may just be blocking it's acquisition for the moment like they are with the Materia Tier V's.

That's just how I feel about it.

Also, I have not figured out how to get Thavanarian Silk.

I'll be very surprised if Thav Silk isn't from the highest maps, just like Dress Materials were from Peisteskins. I don't expect it to be from desynthing, but maybe they'll be nice and throw us stuff we can desynth to get it as well. Chances are that we currently cannot get it from desynthing, but in a later update, an f60*** fish will have it.


So, the new dungeon gear drops BC2s, not BC3s? Or do you mean the crafted stuff? I haven't made it through the story yet, but anyone know if the items dropped by the new Extreme Primals are desynthable? Or HM, if those drop weapons? I'm really hoping that the new primal stuff is not desynthable, so in a later patch they can give us more Primal demis. There are no new demis at all in the game's item list according to datamining sites, so if those items are desynthable now, chances are extremely high that they will not add those demis later.

I'm not that far in, well, anything yet. Despite this thread, I tend to just derp around in game and do stuff super slow xD How valuable are Holy Ramie Thread and Chimeric Felt? Are those craftable?

I don't understand why they would "block" FC3s/BC3s. FC3s at least are now pretty worthless. BC3s are tanking as well. Having so many more ways to get them while not adding new things that require them really hurts those markets. I mean, there are a few new i95 Bright Primal weapons, but that's about it for BC3s and those are pure glam.

18k, 59k. Probably craftable, but you need to unlock 56-60 item recipes tab first.

Hi Nya,

I can corroborate what Gil is saying, and to answer your question:

* On Weaver, desynthing Rainbow and Holy Rainbow *crafted* gear, you can randomly get Battlecraft 2 Demimateria (not 3). Pretty worthless.

It does feel strange, because you're progressing through the highest level items for Desynth and Crafting in 3.0 now, and yet, it's Tier II demimaterias?! Strange.

Err, yes, I'm well aware you get BC2s/FC2s from crafted gear. Level 50 crafted gear gives BC2s also, as does 50* gear. It's not until 50** that we started being able to make items we could desynth into 3s. It makes some logical sense that we won't get 3s again until we can make 60** and higher items. Weird, but follows a consistent pattern, I guess.

I was asking about dungeon gear, especially from the level 60 dungeons. Are you both saying that dungeon gear also gives BC2s/FC2s and not 3s? That would be inconsistent, in my opinion...

[Gil_Knght]

No demimateria from the level 60 dungeons yet, I'll keep you updated.

[Gil_Knght]

Got Clear Demimateria 3 (drats!) from a Valerian wizard's robe. (ilvl 160 from the lvl60 dungeons)

As well as 2 wind clusters and 2 lightning clusters.

They are.
