Rarefied Pine Cane

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Pine Cane is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Pine Lumber ×2, Growth Formula Eta ×1, Kudzu Cloth ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 20 units, plus 25 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,876 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 791 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Wind Crystal, 5 Lightning Crystal, 4 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 66, Weaver to Lv 64 and Alchemist to Lv 61 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 6 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, Ruby Cotton Yarn has the widest use: 91 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
