Sandteak Rod

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Sandteak Rod is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Sandteak Lumber ×2, Growth Formula Kappa ×1, Hardsilver Nugget ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 45 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 904 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Wind Crystal, 7 Water Crystal and 6 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 76, Alchemist to Lv 76 and Goldsmith to Lv 76 — 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, Hardsilver Nugget has the widest use: 88 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
