On a recent whim I decided to take the jump from "faint" to "powerful" lightning energy in my moghouse to help desynthesis rates and results.
Here's what I had on display in my Mog House Before:
Bastokan Flag (+8 Lighntning Energy I think, Moghancement: Conquest)
Magic Set (+2 Lightning Energy, Moghancemet: xxx)
And after:
Tarutaru Stool x 40 (+1 Lightning Energy each, Moghancement: Desynthesis)
(All other items were taken out of layout so that I can keep Desynthesis Moghancement active)
Now the results:
Varying moon phases & days & directions yielded a worse desynth rate and I lost more items than I normally do.
But the interesting part
I've been fishing for my LuShangs for a few months and after getting powerful lightning energy & moghancement: desynthesis I've lost more earth crystal synths (crafting insect paste) and of those losses, the majority of them have been critical failures.
This is in contrast to me usually breaking ~1 a stack and losing something cheap like a little worm.
While I've noticed this with a relatively cheap synth, it makes me wonder if later on when crafting Haubs (an earth crystal synth) if I should ditch the stools lining my Mog House.
Any input or personal experience with this is appreciated
