Growth Formula Delta Concentrate ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Growth Formula Delta Concentrate is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Quicksilver ×1 — which resolves to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 2 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,216 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

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

Every step is Alchemist work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Trillium Bulb (21:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Growth Formula Delta Concentrate is itself consumed by 4 further recipes, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
