Glade Rug

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Glade Rug is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Undyed Woolen Cloth ×4, Boar Leather ×2, Undyed Linen ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 20 units, plus 49 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,876 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,022 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 37 Lightning Shard, 8 Earth Shard and 4 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 40 and Leatherworker to Lv 33 — 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, Undyed Woolen Cloth has the widest use: 154 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
