Gardener's Gate

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gardener's Gate is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Birch Lumber ×5, Claro Walnut Lumber ×5, Cobalt Tungsten Ingot ×4 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 94 units, plus 185 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,458 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,505 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 64 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 121 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 97 Wind Crystal, 32 Fire Crystal, 32 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 100, Blacksmith to Lv 94 and Alchemist to Lv 91 — 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, Cobalt Tungsten Ingot has the widest use: 105 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
