Vintage Thighboots

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Vintage Thighboots is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Iron Rivets ×1, Raptor Leather ×1, Rubber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 9 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 636 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 1 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Earth Shard, 2 Fire Shard, 1 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 41, Blacksmith to Lv 18 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 6 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
