Ice Ward Potion

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Ice Ward Potion is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Danburite ×1 — which resolves to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 3 units, plus 8 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,373 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 426 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 1 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Water Shard, 3 Lightning Shard and 1 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 34 and Goldsmith to Lv 13 — 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, Danburite has the widest use: 7 recipes call for it, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
