Manganese Orrery

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Manganese Orrery is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Blue Zircon ×2, Manganese Ingot ×2, Enchanted Manganese Ink ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 38 units, plus 80 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,698 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,875 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 64 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 48 Wind Crystal, 24 Fire Crystal and 8 Water Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 86, Alchemist to Lv 87 and Blacksmith to Lv 86 — 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.

7 of the 8 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.
