Steel Cross-pein Hammer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Steel Cross-pein Hammer is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Steel Ingot ×1, Undyed Velveteen ×1, Walnut Lumber ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 13 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 647 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

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

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 32, Carpenter to Lv 25 and Weaver to Lv 24 — 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, Walnut Lumber has the widest use: 128 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
