Request HW Catchup items for Desynthesis

[Kaurhz]

If it hasn't been mentioned already, you can desynth the scrip gear, and it does net some pretty neat stuff that if you use should make a return, as for beyond 200, you really should be using Tinker's Calm and Bacon Broth and then do the Stormblood gear, I believe you can do this as early as 205.

The food and potion will boost it significantly initially giving you around 43%, then if you can meld 2-3 cheap materia on each item you can boost it by 12-20%, It brings a few botches, but in the long run it'll probably work out in your favour doing it this way. At 250 you should ideally already be touching Serge gear.

There's honestly zero practical reason in the game to level any desynth above 100. All of the demimateria in the game can be obtained at that point. HW only added 1 single desynth-exclusive item (Stiper Stones from Aithon's Colt) and that item remained 100% useless until SB launched, and then you could just go mining for them instead.\
People leveling desynth to current levels will probably never actually see a net benefit to it compared to the work of the leveling process, unless they make it mandatory for a future relic weapon (many people will rage) or introduce new Field/Battlecraft demimateria.

(Edit) Bear in mind that that back in Heavensward you could get glass fibers from desynthesis, and outside of Mog quests was 1 of the few, ways of getting it. Maps aside. There's major benefit from it, but people using it as a 1 off will rarely ever see that benefit. Hell, Steppe Serge is still going for around 40k on Omega most times, I'd have a better and more cheaper chance in just desynthing it, and anything you do get from desynth should really be put back into crafting rather than actually discarding it. During the levelling process if you keep your materials, and then put them back into crafting there's very little reason as to why you shouldn't break even.

I personally take preference in levelling it for the chance they do introduce something similar with glass fiber where desynth is probably the most efficient way of getting it.
