Spiked Cobalt Labrys

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Spiked Cobalt Labrys is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Cobalt Ingot ×3, Silver Ingot ×2, Raptor Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 20 units, plus 42 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,876 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 851 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 30 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Fire Shard, 11 Earth Shard and 10 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 49, Carpenter to Lv 45, Leatherworker to Lv 41 and Goldsmith to Lv 23 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 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, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
