Dhalmelskin Grimoire

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Dhalmelskin Grimoire is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Dhalmel Leather ×2, Enchanted Hardsilver Ink ×1, Hardsilver Nugget ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 29 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,303 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Water Crystal, 5 Wind Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 55, Goldsmith to Lv 54 and Leatherworker to Lv 54 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 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, Dhalmel Leather has the widest use: 106 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
