Philosopher's Stone Table

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Philosopher's Stone Table is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Growth Formula Kappa ×5 — which resolves to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 35 units, plus 49 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,223 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,790 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 35 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 35 Water Crystal, 7 Fire Crystal and 7 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 80 and Alchemist to Lv 76 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 5 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, Growth Formula Kappa has the widest use: 40 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
