Hi, I started my crafting a bit late, they're almost all 60 now ^^ (cooking 57!)
and I wanted to also level desynth, but without following the propper patch cycle, I had some hard moment, like going from ARR to HW,
I currently face the same issue with BLM stuck at 170 whereas Weaver is 205 and Goldsmith is 220.
Goldsmith got a VERY nice boost from A1S, I do the hunt to get the cheap cloth for Weaver but...

I'm kinda stuck with Blacksmith... weapon drops are extremely rare in any dungeon and I rarely win the roll. Sceal weapon cost a whole day of sceals wich means I have 30-40% chance to get 0.5 point per day...
I've read that people recommand farming primal, but again, farming 3 Bismarks for maybe half a point doesn't sound like an effective option to me. Especially that some group style manage to not meet the dps requirement.

Any advice? Or sceals and stones weapon are really the way to go? (kind hurts considering the time it takes to get 1)
