Smilodonskin Grimoire

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Smilodonskin Grimoire is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Palladium Nugget ×2, Enchanted Truegold Ink ×1, Smilodon Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 39 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,315 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Wind Crystal, 12 Water Crystal, 6 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 71, Carpenter to Lv 71, Leatherworker to Lv 71 and Goldsmith to Lv 68 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 8 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, Palladium Nugget has the widest use: 129 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
