Wrapped Steel Claw Hammer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Wrapped Steel Claw Hammer is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Boar Leather ×1, Linseed Oil ×1, Steel Claw Hammer ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 12 units, plus 27 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,221 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 674 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 11 Earth Shard, 9 Fire Shard, 5 Water Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 36, Leatherworker to Lv 33, Alchemist to Lv 29 and Carpenter to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 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, Walnut Lumber has the widest use: 128 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
