This is how I made profit on desynthing from smithing.
Beadeaux and kill old quad. The drop rate on Quad helms are like water. T3 being DS ingot.
Edit: T1 iron ingot T2 steel ingot. If you have alchemy leveled kill the slimes and you can get slime oils / dodge earrings for extra pocket money. A few nm's pop there too if you go out of your way to get them to pop.
For a while I farmed my smithing mats from there and sold the extra to pocket for myself on other gear.
After a while I decided to take my smithing to 78, around 77 I started to farm antica in Eastern Altepa Desert around the upside down T at H-8. Kill only paladin/warrior mobs since they drop the pauldrons. T1-3 is a DS ingot T0 a few bronze ingots.
Drop rate isn't the greatest, but when I know I am going to be afk on and off a while I go there, kill a few, come back and repeat. Desynth out in the field if my skill was high enough or just go back into town once inventory was full.
Sharing my secret because you're not on my server and I quit :3
I always farmed with TH3, but if you got TH4 I am sure you could see a lot better drops than me. Good luck with the desynthing.
