Imitation Stained Crystal Roundel

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Imitation Stained Crystal Roundel is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Crystal Glass ×5, Star Quartz ×3, Natron ×5 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 51 units, plus 99 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,830 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,075 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 83 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 56 Wind Crystal, 25 Water Crystal, 10 Water Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 90 and Alchemist to Lv 50 — 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, Star Quartz has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
