Larch Ring

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Larch Ring is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Larch Lumber ×1, Varnish ×1 and Linseed Oil ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 18 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 549 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 11 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Water Shard, 7 Wind Crystal and 3 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 63 and Alchemist to Lv 41 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 4 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, Varnish has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
