you can make a small amount of gil if you desynth masks... i just got 1 stack with 2 masks so 2k for 2 masks and 1k for stack crystals = 3k-7k= 4k profit

but i have also lost 3-4 masks in a row

De-synth of Goblin/Moblin/Bugbear masks

Whenever I have tried to de-synth any of the masks I get either failure (50% of the time) 4 fibers or 8 fibers. I've never got 2 but I have seen people gain 2 from them.

I used this as a cheap way of getting a load of fibers for Artificial lenses and Prism Powders.

Drop rate isn't too good on masks depending on area but I get enough to make it worthwhile ^^

I found the best results for:

Lightning crystal+Goblin mask.

I did the quest in Selbina Donate to Recycling
got the Waste Basket, I removed all my Furnishings except the Wastebasket, I equiped a Thunder Staff
(Don't know if the Staff makes a difference or not) out of 10 tries I failed 2 time only lost the Goblin Mask 1 time every other try I got HQ#3 (8 Loops)
I will continue to log my results to see if this trend holds true. And by the way Alchemy skill is at lvl 26.

Just thought you'd like to know, you can HQ and be under a synth cap. Plus, I'm pretty sure that's a desynth, and with that, comes the fact that desynth recipes fall under a different set of equations than normal synths.

You can HQ desynths a lot more frequently, and further under the cap, than you can synths. You can also fail a lot more frequently with desynths than with synths.

So, just cause you HQ'd something below it's cap doesn't mean the cap is wrong.

In my experience the biggest effect on the chance to de-synth is the moon phase- I think the new moon has the greatest chance of success, while with a full moon I couldn't de-synth these suckers even with 56 Alchemy. I did get .2 in skillups of these back when I was only 16 or so alchemy, so it's possible- but it took me almost 30 synth attempts to get them, so this is not a good way to skillup. Good luck to everyone seeking to make money off these!

best day to desynth (?)

Score: Decent
there seems to be a lot of confusion over how to get successful desynths from this recipe. i'm as confused as anyone else, but i'm trying to figure it out in a semi-scientific way. here are my early results:

Lightningday: terrible! no matter what time of day, or what direction i face, i break about 90% of my attempts at any time of day. i used to try this a LOT while i was leveling up around 20 and i didn't know the difference from normal synthesis. i've tried again a few times recently, and i can say with some certainty, lightningday = bad.

Watersday: amazing! out of 9 masks, i broke 2, and i had about 6 crystal breaks without losing the mask. i gained 26 carbon fibers. most of my synths were HQ1 or HQ2. i was facing NORTHWEST (fire) for all of them, and the majority of my breaks were after 6:00 game time.

so, this suggests to me that either watersday is good, or day-beats-direction is good, or early morning is good, or some combination thereof. i will post more results as i get them, and would love to hear others' results as well!

i'm still trying, and i'm still not finding any real pattern. part of the problem is that these masks are not available in enough abundance to establish a pattern. it could be that there isn't a pattern anyway! but, for what it's worth, here are my current thoughts:

Lightningday and Lightsday are no good for this desynth. Avoid them. All other days seem to me to be neutral. Early on, I had a lot of success on Watersday, but now I can't confirm that.

Direction to face: Seems to be SW, to go with the strength of the crystal. I'm level 41 alchemy, 20 levels above cap for this recipe.

When following these basic ideas, I *usually* end up with 1 or 2 stacks of fibers from 6 or 8 masks. Of course, sometimes I can end up with nothing, and sometimes it could be a little more.

I have to disagree with the Lightsday thing, that's one the the best days to synth for me. Lighteningsday is obviously the worst I think we can confirm that and also SW is the worst direction to face. West and NW seem to work well. out of five masks the first 2 failed facing SW then the next 3 passed facing west on lightsday. Watersday is okay but I find it to be the same as every other day.

my guess is that you were doing this synth either on Darksday or Lightningsday, when (respectively) the HQ chance was higher, or the crystal was strong. Otherwise you should not be getting many HQ results at your level.

Desynthing has different guidelines for creating HQ results, though I have yet to fathom them. However, I have not yet noticed a correlation between element day and the chance for HQ on desynthesis, and I have done A LOT of desynthing. I have noticed that the time of day, oddly, has some connection between desynthing and success.

I'm going to write up a new post on the subject of Tonberry Lanterns because I'm afraid there will be more complaints from people not reading the whole thread.

Alchemy: Tonberry Lantern
There are two (as far as I know) possible applications of these in alchemy (one in smithing) and they are:

Crystal: Lightning
-- 1 x Tonberry Lantern
---- Yields: 3 Loops of Glass Fiber
---- HQ1: 6 Loops of Glass Fiber
---- HQ2: 9 Loops of Glass Fiber
---- HQ3: 12 Loops of Glass Fiber
****

Crystal: Water
-- 1 x Tonberry Lantern **NOTE** I have not personally confirmed this recipie, but I trust my LS
---- Yields: 3 pots of Olive Oil
**actual HQ quantities unknown, but results are going to be something like:
---- HQ1 More olive oil than 3... :P
---- HQ2 X amount of Slime Oil[EDIT] this and HQ3 may be switched... I'm fairly sure they are. [/EDIT]
---- HQ3 a jar of toad oil
****

And now,
Smithing: Tonberry Lantern
Now, I'm not so much the smithing nut as I am for alchemy, so I'm not even gonna take a stab at HQ's on this one.

Crystal: Wind
-- 1 x Tonberry Lantern
---- Yields: 1 x Brass sheet
---- HQ1: ****
---- HQ2: ****
---- HQ3: ****
****

And, to clear up some confusion that may occur on new recipies from expansion drops, i.e. Moblin Mask, Bugbear Mask, here are some recipies (sorry, no skill caps confirmed yet ; ;)

Crystal: Lightning
-- 1 x Moblin Mask
---- Yields: 4 Loops of Glass Fiber
---- HQ1: Glass Fiber x 6
---- HQ2: ****
---- HQ3: ****
****

Crystal: Lightning
-- 1 x Bugbear Mask
---- Yields: 4 Loops of Glass Fiber
---- HQ1: Glass Fiber x 8 (not 6)
---- HQ2: ****
---- HQ3: ****
****


And that's all I know ^^ hope this helps.

Lightning crystal + goblin mask is desynthesis. It works quite differently to synthesis - there is a lower chance of normal success than there is of outright failure and HQ success.

Normal yield: 2 glass fiber.
HQ yield: 4, 6 or 8 glass fiber.

High chance of both failure and HQ means desynthesis is a gamble, and it can be very profitable if you get more HQ than failures. You can recognise a HQ craft by the different, flashier crystal animation and higher/better yield.

Fear de-synth. I am 22 and I still fail more often then I succeed. If it wasn't for the fact that I am good at setting up EX results I would be taking MASSIVE hits for this. Still, I run into days that I break even.

De-synth will fail. There is nothing to prevent this. There seems to be some hidden success % programmed in that you can work around. Best I have been able to do so close to the lvl is cut down on the loss of masks, and by getting 4-8 more often then I get 2. I am not over 50 crafts on this (I use it for the next stage... Was stupid and tried doing Rods... but they don't sell well, and they have a high negative return value unless you farm EVERYTHING you need). I now make Artifical lenses, and and I am holding on to those till I am high enough to make them into prism powder for pratcially free:).

At 24 alchemy, if you synth these on lightningsday with goblin masks, its far cheaper than buying the glass fiber. I spent around 13k on goblin mask (500 each) and Lightning Crystals (1000 per stack), and got 58 glass fibers out of them (almost 5 stacks, about 20k worth).

These prices are according to Midgardsormr though.

You CAN level up from breaking down items. I've recieved skill-ups from Goblim Helms and Mail for BSmithing materials, and from breaking down Silver Hairpins/Rings into Silver ingots for Gsmithing.

my theory is that since this is not a given "formula" by one of the alchem npcs, you don't get a lvl up, or should i say you barely get one. i have also noticed the same trend to others as well, ie. in blacksmithing and goldsmithing that involves the lightning + quadavbackplate/goblin mail etc. my guess is its because it is an "obtained" by the "split" characteristic of the lightning crystal.

I'm currently lv56 Alchemy, I've sythesized at least a thousand masks now and never seen a increase. I contacted a GM to see if the recipe was supposed to give increases and his response was "Only when sythesizing items will you gain skills" If you look at the msg when you do this combine you obtain glass fibers, not synthesize. This isn't a sythesis this is breaking down another item.

I started making these at around skill 18 and still fail a ton even with alchemy buff at skill 40. I've synthesized hundreds of them and never seen a skillup. The message is you obtained a loop of glass fiber so these are useless for skillups only a cheaper way to get glass fibers.

It doesn't use outlook to send a message. In fact, it uses your computer's default mail program to send any "mailto:" URLs, so if it's opening Outlook, then it's your computer's fault. BTW, even if it is using outlook, how god damn hard is it to extract "haggan@allakhazam.com" from the link and paste it into whatever the hell you're using? Whiner.

my friend was able to do this at lvl 17 with imagery enchancing but still failed rather often untill lvl 18-19. So this is NOT a lvl 0 or 1 alchemy skilled (Ive also tried it at lvl 1, says too low lvl)

I had an alchemy skill of 18 before I could do this and it still took several tries, but the high quality versions were X4, X6, and X8.
definately not zero

These can be made using a lightning crystal and a goblin mask. The alchemy skill is used, but not srue how much skill you need to do it....
