Chondrite Top of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chondrite Top of Fending is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Chondrite Ingot ×2, Grade 5 Vitality Alkahest ×2, AR-Caean Velvet ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 64 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,153 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal, 16 Lightning Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 89, Blacksmith to Lv 88, Weaver to Lv 88 and Alchemist to Lv 83 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 9 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, Chondrite Ingot has the widest use: 210 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
