Gaja Codex

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gaja Codex is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Enchanted High Durium Ink ×2, Gaja Leather ×2, Ametrine ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 70 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,397 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 55 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Water Crystal, 16 Earth Crystal, 16 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 81, Goldsmith to Lv 81, Leatherworker to Lv 81 and Weaver to Lv 78 — 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, Dwarven Cotton has the widest use: 165 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
