Titanium Bastard Sword

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Bastard Sword is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Titanium Nugget ×3, Dhalmel Leather ×1, Electrum Ingot ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 40 units, plus 35 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,825 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,447 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal, 5 Wind Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 54, Goldsmith to Lv 54, Leatherworker to Lv 54 and Alchemist to Lv 51 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 10 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, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
