If it's the master demimateria books, that requires leveling desynth enough to get the rank I demimateria to trade for the books to learn to make the items to trade for the rank III demimateria?
The recipes are from the Master I books, but since the items in question typically require FC3 demimateria to craft in the first place they are a somewhat suboptimal way of acquiring FC3 demimateria.
(You need HQ items for the Master II books, but only NQ items for the FC3 demimateria - so it looks like a way to recover at least a little of the materials for failed attempts at HQ.)
