All of you have great alternatives to this issue. All I know is SE needs to make changes to the recipes or mats acquisition because it is causing a lot of problems with leveling desynthing as well as getting the master recipes for other crafting classes. I find it easier and less gil to get the 2nd set of master recipes rather the the 1st set. 5x HQ 2-star items (500k-750k depending on server prices) VS. 5x Battlecraft Demimateria I & 5x Fieldcraft Demimateria I (100k -150k, and much easier to obtain while leveling desynthesis).
