Maple Wand

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Maple Wand is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Growth Formula Alpha ×1 and Quicksilver ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 5 units, plus 4 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,201 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 826 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 2 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 3 Water Shard and 1 Lightning Shard.

Every step is Alchemist work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 4 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 4 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Maple Wand is itself consumed by 2 further recipes, all of them Alchemist recipes.
