PSA: HQ items cannot be restored through item restoration if not discarded

[BigPapaSmurf]

But I think the problem is you get stuff from desynthing where as discarding you don't. And considering WHAT you can get from desynth, I can kinda understand why it is what it is.

All they'd have to tell you to do is discard the item(s) gained from the Desynth before they'll honor the Item-Restoration, it's not that hard.

If you've spent the gained items, then in that case you will have forfeited your opportunity to get the Item-Restoration.

Anybody who has the intent to get the item restored will not spend the gained items, plain and simple.
