Thick-rimmed Glasses ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Thick-rimmed Glasses is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Clear Glass Lens ×2 and Natron ×2 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 12 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 801 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 10 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Water Shard, 1 Fire Cluster and 1 Wind Cluster.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 50 and Alchemist to Lv 28 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 6 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Clear Glass Lens has the widest use: 96 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
