Checkered Flooring

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Checkered Flooring is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Clinker Bricks ×6, Varnish ×3 and Linseed Oil ×3 — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 45 units, plus 66 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,451 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,996 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 54 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 54 Water Shard, 6 Fire Shard and 6 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 50 and Alchemist to Lv 41 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 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, Varnish has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
