Chondrite Magitek Paintbrush

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chondrite Magitek Paintbrush is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Chondrite Ingot ×2, Enchanted Manganese Ink ×2, Blue Zircon ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 36 units, plus 72 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,383 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,447 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 56 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Water Crystal, 16 Fire Crystal, 16 Lightning Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 88, Blacksmith to Lv 88, Goldsmith to Lv 86 and Weaver to Lv 86 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 8 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, Chondrite Ingot has the widest use: 210 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
