Stone Vigil Beacon

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Stone Vigil Beacon is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Cobalt Ingot ×6 — which resolves to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,087 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 30 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 36 Fire Shard and 5 Earth Shard.

Every step is Blacksmith work, from a Lv 42 intermediate up to the Lv 45 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 4 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, Cobalt Ingot has the widest use: 145 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
