Wooden Beam

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Wooden Beam is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Rosewood Lumber ×2, Varnish ×1 and Linseed Oil ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 31 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 581 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 20 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Wind Shard, 8 Water Shard and 5 Ice Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 45 and Alchemist to Lv 41 — 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, Varnish has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
