Steel Bardiche

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Steel Bardiche is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Steel Ingot ×2 and Fish Glue ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 11 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 647 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 5 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Fire Shard, 3 Earth Shard and 1 Water Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 32 and Alchemist to Lv 10 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 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, Steel Ingot has the widest use: 125 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
