Vamper's Knives ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Vamper's Knives is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Potent Sleeping Potion ×1, Rosewood Lumber ×1 and Quicksilver ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,059 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Water Shard, 6 Lightning Shard, 6 Wind Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 50 and Carpenter to Lv 45 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 5 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, Rosewood Lumber has the widest use: 83 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
