Integral Magitek Rod

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Integral Magitek Rod is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Integral Lumber ×2, Star Quartz ×2, Kumbhira Leather ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 80 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,116 of the 1,552 Carpenter 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 56 Wind Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 88, Goldsmith to Lv 88, Leatherworker to Lv 86 and Alchemist to Lv 85 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 7 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Star Quartz has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
