Vintage Cane

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

That bill outweighs 4,201 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 464 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 1 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Water Shard and 1 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 38 and Alchemist to Lv 30 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 4 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Growth Formula Gamma has the widest use: 31 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
