Red Pine Flat Brush

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Red Pine Flat Brush is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Enchanted High Durium Ink ×2, Red Pine Lumber ×2, Ametrine ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 71 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,407 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 56 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Wind Crystal, 24 Water Crystal and 15 Lightning Crystal.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 84, Carpenter to Lv 84, Weaver to Lv 84 and Goldsmith to Lv 81 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 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, Ametrine has the widest use: 85 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
