Wind-up Chimera ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Wind-up Chimera is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Chimerical Felt ×2, Sewing Thread ×2, Steppe Serge ×2 and 4 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 45 units, plus 78 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,451 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,822 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 66 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 50 Lightning Crystal, 20 Wind Crystal and 8 Water Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 70 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 9 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 5 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Chimerical Felt has the widest use: 113 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
