Silver Battle Fork

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Silver Battle Fork is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Crab Oil ×1, Silver Ingot ×1 and Walnut Lumber ×1 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totaling 8 units, plus 11 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 541 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Wind Shard, 2 Ice Shard and 2 Water Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 27, Alchemist to Lv 26 and Goldsmith to Lv 23 — 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, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
