Decorated Bronze Mitt Gauntlets

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Decorated Bronze Mitt Gauntlets is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Brass Ingot ×1, Bronze Mitt Gauntlets ×1, Bronze Rivets ×2 and 3 others — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 17 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,161 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 660 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 12 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Fire Shard, 4 Earth Shard, 3 Ice Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 16, Goldsmith to Lv 14, Blacksmith to Lv 3 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.

Of the intermediates, Brass Ingot has the widest use: 94 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
