Ash Composite Bow

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ash Composite Bow is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Ash Lumber ×3 — which resolves to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 7 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 581 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 3 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Wind Shard and 2 Ice Shard.

Every step is Carpenter work, from a Lv 10 intermediate up to the Lv 26 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

1 of the 3 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Ash Lumber has the widest use: 60 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
