Re: Goblin Mask

Desynths on these are terrible, or i should say terribly unpredictable.

I run desynth on gob masks for GlassFiber, it is a 21 lvl desynth, I have been doing it since 16 Alchemy, standard is 5 levels below for synth for me. From that point to my current level, just shy of 40, there is no rhyme or reason, I will have three catastrophic (full loss) failures directly before or after a HQ3, sometimes as low as 16-18 i would have back to back HQ3's and then last night while 15 levels above the synth level I had 7 catastrophic failures in a row.


I'm not sure how they tabulate for desynths, but it is certainly not the same as synths

Re: Goblin Mask

I find desynth sucess rates to be horrible, but seem to have better luck with the masks than most I usually get sheep leather and sometimes a ram leather. I don't buy the masks due to the chanciness of even low level desynths, but I desynth them when I'm mining or forced to kill a goblin since otherwise I'm chucking the item for inventory space for more farmable/minable exc.
2/3 attempts fail.

Re: Goblin Mask

Breaking down yagudo necklace is, oddly, considered a normal recipe, not a desynthesize.

Goblin mask should have about the same rate as bronze swords. Try to do it during full moon and windsday.

I'm looking for people with personal experience to answer this one.

When using a Wind Crystal on a Goblin Mask, do you have a pretty high success rate? I know some items desynth better than others. I've used Lightning Crystals on Bronze Swords and had terrible success rate. Some items though, such as Yagudo Bead Necklaces and a Wind Crystal synthesize just fine, like a normal item. I'm wondering if Goblin Masks are the same.

Any help from personal experience would be greatly appreciated. And thank you in advance.
