Cobalt Dolabra

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cobalt Dolabra is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Aldgoat Leather ×1, Cobalt Ingot ×1 and Mahogany Lumber ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 21 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 529 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 11 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Fire Shard, 6 Earth Shard and 5 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 43, Carpenter to Lv 39 and Leatherworker to Lv 17 — 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, Cobalt Ingot has the widest use: 145 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
