Book of Silver

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Book of Silver is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Enchanted Silver Ink ×1, Linen Yarn ×1 and Silver Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 13 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,090 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Water Shard, 5 Lightning Shard and 2 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 34, Weaver to Lv 32 and Goldsmith to Lv 23 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Book of Silver is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Alchemist recipes.
