Aye, we've been deconning stuff left and right over the last few days. From what I can tell, what you can decon depends on the highest level you have, whether craft or adv (or diplo?). A different failure message would help though, since it's not at all obvious that the reason you can't decon something is because you're not high enough level, if that's the case.

I was leery of this when it went in, and I'm still a little on the fence about it, but there are several positive aspects. I like that anyone can decon anything, though the crafter-client relationship may change a little; adventurers didn't have to bother learning about dusts before if they didn't want to, but now that they're likely going to be the biggest source of dusts rather than the crafters themselves, that balance will change. In itself that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I do like that I can decon "on the fly" while adventuring, which keeps my packs a bit cleaner since I used to keep most of the common and crap-uncommon stuff for decon anyway.

I'm not certain I see the logic in being able to decon crafting tools but not crafting clothes (or have I just tried the wrong clothes?).

There have been a steady stream of results where a tier X item decon gave a dust of tier X+1 (T2 giving T3, T3 giving T4 etc), which seems odd and has been reported.

Anyway, for now I'm reserving judgement. Thanks for the deconnables!
