Titanium Creasing Knife

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Creasing Knife is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Titanium Nugget ×2, Dark Chestnut Lumber ×1, Electrum Ingot ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 30 units, plus 29 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,368 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,196 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Fire Crystal, 5 Wind Shard, 4 Earth Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 55, Alchemist to Lv 55, Carpenter to Lv 54 and Goldsmith to Lv 42 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 8 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.
