Rarefied Dhalmelskin Codex

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Dhalmelskin Codex is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Dhalmel Leather ×2, Enchanted Hardsilver Ink ×1 and Hardsilver Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 25 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,295 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 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 9 Water Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 4 Lightning Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 56, Goldsmith to Lv 54 and Leatherworker to Lv 54 — 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, Dhalmel Leather has the widest use: 106 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
