Ironwood Choker of Casting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ironwood Choker of Casting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Ironwood Lumber ×2, Grade 5 Intelligence Alkahest ×1 and Manganese Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 815 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Wind Crystal, 8 Fire Crystal, 8 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 86, Blacksmith to Lv 86 and Alchemist to Lv 83 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Manganese Ingot has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
