Zelkova Earrings

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Zelkova Earrings is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Persimmon Lumber ×1, Varnish ×1, Zelkova Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 28 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 621 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Wind Crystal, 8 Water Shard and 5 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 69 and Alchemist to Lv 41 — 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, Varnish has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
