Gomphotherium Grimoire

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gomphotherium Grimoire is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Gomphotherium Leather ×2, White Gold Ingot ×2, Dark Mahogany Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 64 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,387 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Wind Crystal, 16 Earth Crystal, 16 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 97, Goldsmith to Lv 96, Leatherworker to Lv 96 and Carpenter to Lv 94 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 9 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, White Gold Ingot has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
