Demimateria? Desynthesis?? ARGHH!

[SamSmoot]

Level 60 GSM quest.. Requires Demimateria II Had to look it up, where to get it (Desynthesis) Tried it, failed. discovered it's something I have to level up, and all my profs are level 1 desynth. Tried leveling, consuming all the old low-level gear, and hardly got anywhere. Looking extremely tedious to level desynth just to I can get the demimateria to make the quest items.
Now, I have desynth leveling points going into too many crafts, so I need some "for beginners" books to reset the ones I don't want to use points on, but I can't find the recipe for the books After an hour of searching for stuff, I gave up and logged off.

Crafting just became too complicated for me to continue, but leveling it has been the only reason I've been logging on for the last couple months. Starting to consider returning to WoW..

Demimateria can be traded on the marketboard. Have you looked there?

Also you should be able to get grade 2 demimateria well before you have issues with skill caps.

In any case, crafting and desynthesis is being overhauled so the information may all change soon.

Not much else to add. Just buy it if you need it. Unfortunately, no other way around it. I would agree that it's unfortunate to have made it part of the requirements for the 60 quests.

Desynth cap is so high right now, you should have no reason to reset any of your points. I'm not even entirely sure there's very much good for having any desynth capped anymore. You'll easily be able to put in enough points into every class to desynth every ARR item, more than sufficient for anything you might be trying to get demimateria from. Even if you did want to cap a class or two, is unlikely that you've gained enough desynth points in anything at this stage to prevent you from doing so. No need to stress over the resetting. Having points in one class doesn't make it any harder to level another.

Desynth is changing in 5.1 to no longer be a grind. It’ll always work they said. Please look forward to it.

The Fieldcraft Demimateria 2 is usually fairly inexpensive on the MB because players will get so much of it trying to level their desynth.

If it's on the expensive side for your data center, check with friends to see of any of them have leveled their desynth and ask them if they'll do it for you if you provide the items and let them keep anything that isn't the demimateria you need. A lot of the level 51-59 DoH/DoL gear ends up very cheap on the MB (under 1000 gil) because they're common returns from quick ventures and can yield 1-3 demimateria so they're an excellent source.

As the others have said, desynthesis will be getting some changes in 5.1 so you'll no longer need to level it as we do now.

Just checked the MB. It starts at 8K on my server (too much for me) I'll check the other linked servers, and if it's still insanely expensive there, I'll just abandon the quest and level my GSM by other means

Edit: Found them for 4K each on another server. Bought 6, so I'd have 2 spares in case of a (likely) failed HQ synth.

Hmm, I think I'll hold off on trying to level it then. I tried it on some level 20 vendor gear, and I got less than 1 level increase per item.
Plus, I did it as BSM, which has my highest desynth level, but it says it added .083 to weaver? I assume it adds the points to whatever craft can repair the item, not the one you're doing the desynth in..

8K isn't terribly expensive for demimateria - especially not at level 60 where you should easily have over a million gil unless you have wasted most of it.
Oh, and don't worry about HQ synth for that quest - the items you need to craft for the level 60 GSM quest don't even have a HQ version.

Been playing since January, have a bit over 21M. But, I'm cheap. I still port home to Limsa and take the airship if I need to get to another city, and use teleport tickets for anything over 250 gil.

I'm currently stuck on the Sample Chronometer GSM quest at level 68 because my crafting level is too low. I won't buy new gear though. I'll just wait til I can use the 70 set I already have, then finish the quest
