Shroud Broadleaf

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Shroud Broadleaf is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Growth Formula Beta ×4 and Quicksilver ×4 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 28 units, plus 10 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,345 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Water Shard and 1 Lightning Shard.

Every step is Alchemist work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 20 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

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.

Shroud Broadleaf is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Carpenter recipes.
