Rarefied Br'aaxskin Codex

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Br'aaxskin Codex is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Br'aax Leather ×2, Sarcenet Cloth ×1 and Tungsten Ink ×1 — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 20 units, plus 47 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,876 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,279 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Earth Crystal, 16 Water Crystal and 15 Lightning Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 95, Leatherworker to Lv 94 and Weaver to Lv 94 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 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, Br'aax Leather has the widest use: 91 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
