Integral Grinding Wheel

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Integral Grinding Wheel is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Integral Lumber ×2, Star Quartz ×1 and Annite Whetstone ×2 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 849 of the 1,552 Carpenter 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 48 Wind Crystal and 8 Ice Crystal.

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

3 of the 4 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, Star Quartz has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
