problem with this particular desynth is it has to be NQ. i notice that i tend to HQ or HQ+1 when im only 10 lvls over. so, doing this desynth, i forsee either a HQ or possibly just POW-gone.
Actually, with desynth, HQ rate isn't tied to skill at all. You can hq a desynth 10 levels under if you're lucky enough to succeed. The only thing level effects on desynths is success/failure rates, and that only really affects it up to the level cap of the item, not over it.
In the long run, i think a person could make steady money off these subligar desynths, but to do it realiably, you'd need about 400 million in starting capital. Anything less than that and you're running the risk of loosing money. Why 400 million you ask? In my experience desynthing things like earrings (silver, mythril, ect) it takes about 50 earrings before i'm pretty much garunteed that critical failures and 2 ingot synths even out leaving me with an average of 1 ingot per earring.
Now earrings aren't the same as the subligars, because they work on a:
Critical fail, fail, 1 ingot, 1 ingot, 1 ingot, 2 ingot
synth outcome schedule. But since HQs and NQs occur at the same rate in desynths (roughly) with the subligars you're looking at a scedule that looks more like this:
crit failure, failure, cashmere, shining, shining, shining
And the other problem with the subligars is that i suspect they have a 100+ skill level, which will inflate the critical failure/failure rate for anybody who isn't 103.
My prediction is that if you do 50 subligars, you'll end up with about 7-10 cashmere and 25-30 shinning cloths. and if you're selling the shinning for 10 mil and the cashmere for 20, that would be between 10 million loss, and 100 million profit, leaning more towards the 100 million, especially if you did more than one batch of 50. But who's got 400 million to try it with? And how would you sell that many quickly without deflating the price even if you could do it? And why didn't I pick clothcrafting to be my main craft?
