Yew Wand

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Yew Wand is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Growth Formula Beta ×1 and Quicksilver ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 5 units, plus 7 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 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 2 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Water Shard and 2 Lightning Shard.

Every step is Alchemist work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 28 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.

Yew Wand is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Alchemist recipes.
