Chondrite Needle

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chondrite Needle is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Chondrite Ingot ×2, Star Quartz ×1 and Annite Whetstone ×2 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,346 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Wind Crystal and 24 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 90 and Blacksmith to Lv 88 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 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.
