Fire Brand

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Fire Brand is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Eye of Fire ×1 and Silver Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 5 units, plus 11 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,201 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 564 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Wind Shard and 3 Fire Shard.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 23 intermediate up to the Lv 35 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

2 of the 3 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, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
