Alchemist's Thighboots ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Alchemist's Thighboots is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Hippogryph Leather ×2 and Rubber ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 12 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 537 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 7 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Earth Crystal, 2 Wind Crystal and 1 Water Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 50 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 4 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, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
