Horn Scale Fingers

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Horn Scale Fingers is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Steel Plate ×2, Boar Leather ×1 and Steel Ingot ×4 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 26 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 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Ice Shard, 8 Earth Shard and 8 Fire Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 38, Leatherworker to Lv 33 and Blacksmith to Lv 26 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come 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.
