    Wrong.

    You forgot the abomination called Mastercraft demimateria.
    LTW, CLN, ALC and CRP can't obtain those at all.

    It's really infuriating that you have so few options of obtaining those.
    This is a sadistic design and the guy who had this """brilliant""" idea must be laughing his ass out from seeing us get gold nuggets from the cursed Artisan spectacles desynth.

    And we are paying for this kind of "content".

    I'm really mad at Mastercraft demimaterias, over 20 Artisan Spectacles desynthed and not even 1 Matercraft demi.
    C'mon square enix.
    You can do better than that.

    What bugs me most about the system is the experience loss. I've completely put a second desynthesis class on hold simply to avoid the frustration of making sure I don't lose exp on GSM. You have to have a ton of crap desynth fodder for your first class (and second) to effectively level a second (or third) class.

    Yep this sucks.

    I started BSM desynth this morning and by the time I got my skill to 22, I had already messed up my skill lock rotation ONCE, but once is all it takes for RNG to rape you. I lost 0.01 on my GSM, which is now 99.99 lol...

    Don't forget, the cap is 300 desynth points, but class minimum is 1.0 points, so yu can only have a maximum of 95.00 if yu plan to max all three desynth classes.

    IMO, I thought 2.4 would open this up a bit, give us a 4th or 5th class to work on, adjust caps. They didn't and that's fine, but they did mention that FC3 & MC DM would be easier to obtain, and while FC3 on MB has plunged on Gungnir, I still don't understand how FC3 drop rates can change that much considering nothing has really changed regarding the obtaining these DM, unless I have misinterpreted patch notes.

    But yes, I too am scared of leveling a 3rd class because between the current two I have, neither has relaxed methods of obtaining these.

    Hi Nation,

    The reason FC3's have dropped is because there IS a new method to obtain them much cheaper / faster:

    * Desynthing the Bridal Gear from the NPC in Ul'dah (across from the Main Aetheryte).

    Enjoy!

    Haha yeah, I actually made a post about that on the first page of this thread. Much disappoint that SE isn't giving us the chance to drop those lvl 1 skills to lvl 0, or boosting to 305 pts from 300 to compensate. Seems like nothing has changed either... I recall reading that they are implementing a new cap (2.5?) of 400pts (problem not solved, doh! >_<)

    next best choice might be cul because of the unique items.
    Only do CUL desynthesis if you're also a maximum level, damn well geared Fisher (or plan to be). Unless you enjoying sinking tens of thousands of gil per attempt at the lottery.

    Those books are far too expensive to make, and even more expensive to be able to make them.

    I've noticed that the developers have this habit of adding the most basic menial functionality, and having it require millions of gil as an investment (not to mention a great deal of time) to even be able to take advantage of it. Do they really think that many people are going to find this amusing?

    If they want to add high level recipes, I would think it would be for things that have a bit more prestige. Leave the menial stuff for low to mid range recipes. I really don't see why it requires a master crafter to make a broom. Perhaps someone can explain it to me?
