[dev1017] De-synthesis

[Balbanes]

I really enjoyed the Desynthesis system FFXI had. It would be neat to see it included in FFXIV. I'd like to be able to break down things like armor, weapons, and random beastmen items into their more base parts.

For example, in XI:
Black Cape can break down into:
2x Silk Thread
1x Silver Thread
3x Wool Thread
or 4x Wool Thread

all based on the HQ you achieve for the synth.

This could also help to remove excess weapons/armor from the game, causing less clutter in people's inventories. Especially for long synth sessions.

Agreed, we do have some items that can de-synthesised mostly beastman made, the addition of armor and weapons to this would be greatly appreciated.

[Veasna]

Would really like to see this.

I think this is something that would be perfectly fine to implement. The items received from de-synthing should be directly related to the "quality" of the synthesis.

As an r50 alchemist, I'm all for this! I miss desynthing from ffxi

[Leelya]

Good suggestion. I think the framework is already present to make this happen its just been moved back due to the polling that wanted the battle system fixed first.

And thank you for using dev. tags so "the powers that be" read your thread!
