Qiqirn Shelf

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Qiqirn Shelf is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Lignum Vitae Lumber ×8, Varnish ×3, Dwarven Cotton Thread ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 52 units, plus 97 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,890 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,366 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 83 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 63 Wind Crystal, 24 Water Shard, 7 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 80, Weaver to Lv 78 and Alchemist to Lv 41 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 6 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, Lignum Vitae Lumber has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
