Grade 4 Gemdraught of Vitality ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Grade 4 Gemdraught of Vitality is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Sanctified Water ×1 — which resolves to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 980 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Water Crystal, 3 Lightning Cluster and 3 Water Cluster.

Every step is Alchemist work, from a Lv 97 intermediate up to the Lv 100 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

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

Of the intermediates, Sanctified Water has the widest use: 31 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
