Desynthesis

- Desynthesis is the process of taking items (such as armor, weapons, etc.) and breaking them down to materials used in order to craft the items. Like crafting, one can receive Skill up points by breaking items down up until a certain crafting cap.
- Skill ups can occur using desynthesis up to the cap of the item being split but these skill ups are rare and unreliable. They are, however, a nice bonus when attempting to get materials back from a finished product.
- One can also break down armor that mobs wear, such as Moblin Armor, Gigas Bracelets, etc.
- The process of desynthesis usually has more failures than regular crafting, so in order to maximize your results, it is recommended to do such breakage with Moghancement: Desynthesis, on Lightningday, and/or facing the appropriate direction of the crystal you are using (usually southwest, for Lightning Crystals.)
- Also, unlike normal crafting, the chances of getting a High Quality result from Desynthesis are greatly increased, meaning that one can get a HQ1, 2, or even 3 while still being under the skill cap for the item!
- In some cases, Moghancement: Desynthesis is not just "recommended", but mandatory: a desynthesis that gives you NO successes after 8 tries, can suddenly change into a 4/8 success.
