Vintage Smithy's Gloves

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Vintage Smithy's Gloves is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Boar Leather ×1 — which resolves to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 4 units, plus 5 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,935 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 457 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 1 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Earth Shard and 1 Wind Crystal.

Every step is Leatherworker work, from a Lv 33 intermediate up to the Lv 39 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

1 of the 4 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Boar Leather has the widest use: 117 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
