Alchemist Desynthesis really got the short end of the stick didn't it?

Starting to wish I picked a better Desynthesis like LTW than ALC right now.

At level 97 not only is it tediously difficult to get through the Ilvl 100 - Ilvl 110 wall into the heavenswards items at 115 with the annoying lack of options in both crafting and dungeons to level this desynthesis skill,
but the future for it looks rather.... fruitless.

With the only ALC options for increasing it in dungeons being the two ACN class books, this may just be the worst desynthesis skill in the game. (arguably either this or CPR).

What started out as a class that was once the only way to desynthesis for demi materias of crags, was quickly ruined and for naught once the Titan EX earrings were desynthesisable.

Sure, we got those FC wheels which helped level it abit. but with the cap raised we are back to sqaure one, with no way to level it. (And no reason to)

My only hope is that my time was not wasted and the future grade 2 FC wheels will provide some much needed love to this desynthesis skill or perhaps a relic which requires mats from each of the skills again like in the zodiac part. (That way we ALC dynthesisers can at least make some gil)


Balance these Desynthesis skills Square Enix. Everyone is picking GSM for desynthesis skill for a reason (Even me, I've already got it to 138 on dungeon loot alone)

At 97 you can desynth the alchemist weapons (books) from the vendor in Ishgard, for 22k gil each. Remember that you can use tinker's calm/bacon's broth for +10% chance, and meld cheap materias in addition to that for another 10% (the books come with 2 slots).

Personally I think they should turn all AST weapons into ALC type because ink is used on the globes cards, plus do we really need more GSM weapons when we already have WHM, BLM and 99% of all general accessories?

For the sake of balance they must do this

Maybe they could let Alchemists desynth triple triad cards!

I really like this idea, but why stop there? I think that because in other forms of fiction the alchemist has been known to turn many forms of matter into gold, what if you could desynthesis the other 7 types of items but if it's not alchemist you get Gil equal to the amount you would get GC seals for instead of crystals, Demi's & materials, and half the desynth xp.

Sound good?

It's FF8 all over again. @.@
