Storm's Crown Sword Stand ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Storm's Crown Sword Stand is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Chondrite Ingot ×4, Star Quartz ×2 and Annite Whetstone ×2 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 39 units, plus 70 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,756 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,437 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 64 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Fire Crystal, 32 Wind Crystal, 3 Earth Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 90 and Goldsmith to Lv 88 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 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, Chondrite Ingot has the widest use: 210 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
