Connoisseur's Bench ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Connoisseur's Bench is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Chondrite Ingot ×1 and Integral Lumber ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 12 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,221 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 580 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Fire Crystal, 8 Wind Crystal, 4 Ice Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 90, Blacksmith to Lv 88 and Carpenter to Lv 88 — 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, Chondrite Ingot has the widest use: 210 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
