Desynthesis Calculator

Desynthesis breaks gear and items down into crafting materials. This tool finds items on your market board whose desynth materials are worth more than the item itself — ranked by best yield value ÷ what the item costs to buy.

How the ranking works

For every desynthesizable item that's actually trading, the tool looks up its possible material yields, prices each yield at what it really sells for on your world, and divides the best yield by the item's buy cost. High ratios float to the top.

An honest ceiling, not a promise

The game never reveals exact desynth yield rates or quantities — results vary per attempt and with your desynthesis skill level. Treat the ratio as an upper bound and a shortlist of what's worth testing, not a guaranteed return.

Skill and class matter

Each item desynthesizes on a specific Disciple of the Hand, and your desynthesis skill affects success and yield. Level the relevant crafter's desynth before committing gil to a run.

FAQ

What should I desynthesize for gil in FFXIV?

It depends on your world's prices. The desynthesis calculator ranks items whose material yields are worth more than the item costs to buy, using live market data — a live shortlist beats any static list.

Does desynthesis give guaranteed materials?

No. Yields and quantities are random per attempt and improve with desynthesis skill, so the tool shows the best possible yield value as a ceiling, not a guarantee.

How do I level desynthesis?

Desynthesize items on the matching crafter; skill rises with use. Higher skill unlocks higher-level items and improves yields — worth doing before chasing the pricier conversions this tool surfaces.
