Guide: How To Lock Desynth Level and Choose What Skill To Delevel

[Namasu]

I honestly think it's a flaw in the system that they allowed so they could get the feature out in the patch on time. There's no way they won't fix this in the near future.

Greetings,

In the future we will be looking into adding a feature that will allow you to lock your desynthesis skills to ensure that they are not lowered when raising another. However, we just wanted to let you know that there is actually a way to prevent the lowering of skills you don’t want to lower, but we’d like for players to experiment and find out how to do it.

It's part of the game. Also would be great if more people experiment with Rath's method of just rotating class to see if this is a cheaper method. I'm already capped out so I can't really try it here.

I don't like to stress about locking something out and whatever so I just simply don't desynth anything that has 100% desynth chance to avoid those +0.03/-0.01 moments.
So far at about 45, 42, 78 skill level for the 3 jobs I want to max out - desynthing stuff at 50%-80% chance gives from +0.29 to +0.48 or so with no or only 0.01 decrease. I don't buy items, just craft some if they require not many and easy to get materials or use stuff dropping from dungeons and leve chests.
