Buccaneer's Bardiche

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Buccaneer's Bardiche is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Cobalt Ingot ×2 and Horn Glue ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 597 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 13 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Fire Shard, 5 Earth Shard and 3 Water Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 43 and Alchemist to Lv 30 — 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.

Of the intermediates, Cobalt Ingot has the widest use: 145 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
