Wrapped Elm Longbow

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Wrapped Elm Longbow is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Elm Lumber ×1, Wrapped Maple Longbow ×1, Hard Leather ×2 and 3 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 13 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 621 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 9 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Wind Shard, 4 Ice Shard, 2 Earth Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 24, Leatherworker to Lv 8 and Weaver to Lv 1 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 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, Elm Lumber has the widest use: 68 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
