Viking Sword

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Viking Sword is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Bronze Ingot ×1 and Leather ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 5 units, plus 4 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,201 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 450 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 2 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 2 Earth Shard and 2 Fire Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 7 and Leatherworker to Lv 1 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 4 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Viking Sword is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Blacksmith recipes.
