Fuckin cunt of a synth. 2 books left now.

[Gulkeeva]

the alchemy book, is a book of sadness, almost as much as the bsm one SINGLE recipe O_o

[Tardevil]

Is there a list of which master 2 books have which recipes for them? Trying to figure out where I wanna start.

[Rehn]

Check out recipes under xivdb.com. I'm 99% sure everything that's listed ilvl 110 are masterbook II

and just scroll through professions on the left dropdown. Its not 100% accurate but lists most everything (for example culnarian has craftable housing foods, which doesn't show as a "2.4 patch item".)

(everything listed as 110 is from the books pretty much)

so my GSM is 82.5 desynth and I don't have my artisan tool as of yet. best way to level it to 90+ so I can safely do artisan's?

[Raldo]

Assuming that means you have no intention of getting an artisan tool, the easiest way would obviously be to find a friend who can make the stuff for you. Aside from that I'd dungeons and blow up a myriad of i90 accessories. Nab the Antique whatevers too and see if you can trade them in for GSM-desynthed stuff (MNK head, idk what else). Need nexus lights? Decent amount of HM primal shit to desynth that's GSM too.

[Yukari]

Ugh, was this easier back in 2.38 where you could just buy darklight accessories and blow those up?

I wanna try and skip the Artisan and straigh tfor the supra if I can snag at least one or two MC's from desynths, but if not and I have to buy all three.. yeah. Desynth's up to 83.5 now that I was able to get lucky with a couple Allagan accessories. Also turned one into an HQ Platinum Nugget so that's nice. Dunno what to do with it.

If you could buy DL stuff back then, then yeah I missed the boat.

Darklight gear hasn't been purchasable since before 2.2.

[Yukari]

Crap, I was thinking about myth gear from the seals vendor. Ignore me I'm dumb.

[Niiro]

You couldn't desynth Mytho gear until 2.4, when it was no longer purchasable....

[Dammerung]

Which is why you filled up your retainers and own inventory with every myth accessory right before patch.

Shoulda totally done.

Point being there was never a time when you could both buy tome gear and desynth it at your leisure.

This is exactly what I did. I went from dGSM84-100 in less than 30 minutes.

[Stef]

Awesome. I'm at about dGSM 58 now and I have every last one of the myth accessories purchased before 2.4. If I get to 84 or so will those accessories (and a few i90 accessories from dungeons and coil) be enough to get me to 100 on their own or will I need to supplement them with something else? Thanks!

[Niiro]

Depends entirely on how lucky you are with successful desynths.

[Rehn]

It should get you very close since most successes will give you .4-.5 and slowly go down to .3 as you approach 100.

I highly recommend buying 1 HQ bacon broth to raise your desynth success a notch.
