Hard Leather Grimoire

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Hard Leather Grimoire is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Cotton Yarn ×1, Enchanted Iron Ink ×1 and Hard Leather ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 5 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 980 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

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

The chain crosses three disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 16, Weaver to Lv 12 and Leatherworker to Lv 8 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Hard Leather Grimoire is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Alchemist recipes.
