Kumbhiraskin Codex

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Kumbhiraskin Codex is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Enchanted Manganese Ink ×2, Kumbhira Leather ×2, Blue Zircon ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 72 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,407 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 56 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Water Crystal, 16 Earth Crystal, 16 Lightning Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 87, Goldsmith to Lv 86, Leatherworker to Lv 86 and Weaver to Lv 84 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

One intermediate outranks the result: Enchanted Manganese Ink is a Lv 87 Alchemist recipe feeding a Lv 86 craft, so that step, not the last one, is the real gate.

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.
