Gilded Rosewood Fishing Rod

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gilded Rosewood Fishing Rod is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Electrum Ingot ×1, Rosewood Fishing Rod ×1, Shark Oil ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 18 units, plus 49 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,380 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 740 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 37 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 23 Wind Shard, 11 Ice Shard, 8 Fire Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 48, Goldsmith to Lv 42, Alchemist to Lv 41 and Blacksmith to Lv 38 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 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, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
