Retainer Cartonnier

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Retainer Cartonnier is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Steel Ingot ×3, Walnut Lumber ×3, Beeswax ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 25 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,145 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Wind Shard, 6 Fire Shard, 6 Water Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 31, Blacksmith to Lv 26 and Alchemist to Lv 15 — 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, Walnut Lumber has the widest use: 128 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
