Gryphonskin Shin Guards ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gryphonskin Shin Guards is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Hard Hippogryph Leather ×1 and Hippogryph Leather ×3 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 12 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 847 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 10 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Earth Crystal, 2 Earth Cluster and 1 Wind Cluster.

Every step is Leatherworker work, from a Lv 50 intermediate up to the Lv 50 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.

Gryphonskin Shin Guards is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Leatherworker recipes.
