Lotus Parasol

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Lotus Parasol is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Beeswax ×4 and Walnut Lumber ×2 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 16 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,272 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Water Shard, 4 Lightning Shard and 4 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 37 and Carpenter to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 3 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Walnut Lumber has the widest use: 128 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
