Cloud Pearl

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cloud Pearl is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Cloud Pearl Components ×4 — which resolves to 1 distinct raw material totalling 4 units, plus 18 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,935 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 437 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

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

Every step is Carpenter work, from a Lv 64 intermediate up to the Lv 64 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

The single raw material does not appear in the gathering data, so the whole bill comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Cloud Pearl Components has the widest use: 8 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
