Frozen Garden Pond

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Frozen Garden Pond is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Mortar ×4, Claro Walnut Lumber ×3, Growth Formula Lambda ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 50 units, plus 104 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,777 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,069 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 64 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 56 Wind Crystal, 32 Fire Crystal, 8 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 100, Carpenter to Lv 98 and Alchemist to Lv 91 — 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, Mortar has the widest use: 140 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
