Linen Bliaud

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Linen Bliaud is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Undyed Linen ×3, Aldgoat Leather ×1, Woolen Yarn ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 737 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 15 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 19 Lightning Shard, 4 Wind Shard and 1 Earth Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 39 and Leatherworker to Lv 17 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 5 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, Woolen Yarn has the widest use: 131 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
