Elm Pattens

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Elm Pattens is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Elm Lumber ×1, Hard Leather ×1, Undyed Cotton Cloth ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totaling 6 units, plus 8 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 486 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 3 Wind Shard, 2 Ice Shard, 2 Lightning Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 24, Weaver to Lv 13 and Leatherworker to Lv 8 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

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, Undyed Cotton Cloth has the widest use: 71 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
