Desynthesis

[Serix69]

I am just posting, wondering how this is done. I have to mog enhancement Desynthesis, but I can't seem to find the method to do it... I also know you need to be a high level in the item's craft to be able to desynthisize it. Help?

There are a large number of desynthesis formulas, but they all work like this:

Lightning Crystal + <some item> = <some item component>

Desynthesis recipes differ in a number of ways from normal synthesis recipes.

(1) Skill up/skill cap behavior

Desynthesis recipes have a maximum skill cap to which they can raise your skill, like normal synthesis recipes. However, the skill gains associated with desynthesis is much rarer - I'd estimate that you get gains at roughly 25% of the speed of a normal synthesis formula.

(2) Failure rate

Desynthesis formulas fail a LOT. Even when your skill is much higher than the maximum skill cap for a desynth recipe, you'll still fail a lot of the time (for instance, even with 42 Alchemy, desynthesizing a Goblin Mask into Glass Fibers fails around 20% of the time for me, even though it is 20 levels lower than my skill).

(3) High Quality(HQ) results

Normal synthesis formulas will usually yield HQ results when your skill level is higher than the skill cap for that formula. Desynthesis formulas do not follow this rule - you can be several levels below the cap and still get an HQ desynth (though your failure rate is still going to be ruinously high).

Has anyone been able to find a good list of desynthesis recipe's?

Any item on a "crafting" list can be desynthed. There are no "desynth" items. If you are looking for the yields in breaking down these items I have yet to be able to find one. Such a list would take a VERY long time to compile seeing as how you can have HQ desynths and the amount of materials you gain can fluctuate greatly. Normally a HQ desynth will yield the more expensive component of an item.

Goblin Helms, Mail, Masks, Armor, Quadav Backplates, Antican Pauldrons, etc. are not technically desynth items. They were never synthesized. These are items that you can break down. There is a big distinction.

The Moghancement for Desynthesis is in relation to the CRAFTED items. Anything you can make can be desynthesized and having this MH will improve the success of said desynth.

I find after extensive experimentation that the Lightning Moghancement is far more useful when breaking down the Beast Made items or Wind if you are going that route.

I hope this helps.
