Rarefied Gazelleskin Codex

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Gazelleskin Codex is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Gazelle Leather ×2, Enchanted Palladium Ink ×1, Zelkova Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 36 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,295 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 25 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Water Crystal, 10 Earth Crystal, 5 Lightning Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 70, Carpenter to Lv 68 and Leatherworker to Lv 68 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Gazelle Leather has the widest use: 81 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
