Sylphic Counter

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Sylphic Counter is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Mahogany Lumber ×4, Electrum Ingot ×3, Undyed Woolen Cloth ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 28 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,645 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 40 Wind Shard, 5 Fire Shard and 5 Lightning Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 44, Carpenter to Lv 39 and Weaver to Lv 39 — 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, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
