Lar Rod

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Lar Rod is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Lar Ingot ×2, Mountain Chromite Ingot ×2, Integral Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 63 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,755 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Wind Crystal, 23 Fire Crystal and 8 Water Crystal.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 91, Blacksmith to Lv 91, Carpenter to Lv 88 and Alchemist to Lv 85 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Integral Lumber has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
