Pastoral Yew Cane

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Pastoral Yew Cane is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Brass Ingot ×1, Growth Formula Beta ×1, Hempen Yarn ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 10 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 621 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Wind Shard, 2 Ice Shard, 2 Water Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 26, Alchemist to Lv 15, Goldsmith to Lv 14 and Weaver to Lv 1 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 8 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, Brass Ingot has the widest use: 94 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
