Oxblood Targe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Oxblood Targe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Cobalt Rivets ×1, Raptor Leather ×1, Rosewood Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 33 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 665 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

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

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 48, Carpenter to Lv 45 and Blacksmith to Lv 43 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 6 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, Cobalt Ingot has the widest use: 145 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
