Horn Scale Greaves

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Horn Scale Greaves is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Steel Plate ×2 and Steel Ingot ×5 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 642 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Fire Shard, 10 Ice Shard and 4 Earth Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Armorer to Lv 37 and Blacksmith to Lv 26 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 3 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.
