Far Eastern Stained Crystal Roundel

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Far Eastern Stained Crystal Roundel is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Crystal Glass ×6, Pewter Ingot ×4 and Natron ×6 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 60 units, plus 90 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,112 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,127 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 74 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 40 Wind Crystal, 30 Water Crystal, 12 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, Crystal Glass has the widest use: 79 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
