I've made a decent amount of profit off desynthing the Soulflayer Staves. Woodworking ring for the NQ (cuz occasionally can HQ and get a Spinel, which sells for less), and ever since I've gotten the Carpenter's Signboard and Moglification: Woodworking, I've had a better success rate it seems. Yes I still get breaks as it is a desynth, however, I don't lose the staff as often as I used to. I've literally gone through a whole stack of crystals trying to desynth one staff a few times lol but at least after that many fails and not losing the staff, I'll end up with a Bloodwood Lumber.

It's more fun when I get the staves for free from the RvB spammage so it's pure profit! lolthetasash
