Vintage Bastard Sword

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Vintage Bastard Sword is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Mudstone Whetstone ×1 — which resolves to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 3 units, plus 2 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,373 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 410 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 1 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 1 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 1 Fire Crystal and 1 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 35 and Goldsmith to Lv 20 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

1 of the 2 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Mudstone Whetstone has the widest use: 19 recipes call for it, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
