Connoisseur's Elixir Bottle ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Connoisseur's Elixir Bottle is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Grade 5 Mind Alkahest ×2 and Grade 5 Vitality Alkahest ×2 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,168 of the 1,591 Alchemist 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 16 Water Crystal, 4 Water Cluster and 2 Lightning Cluster.

Every step is Alchemist work, from a Lv 83 intermediate up to the Lv 90 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Grade 5 Mind Alkahest has the widest use: 33 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
