Steel Scale Fingers

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Steel Scale Fingers is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Steel Plate ×1, Toad Leather ×1 and Steel Ingot ×3 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 17 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 555 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 11 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Fire Shard, 6 Ice Shard and 5 Earth Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 32, Blacksmith to Lv 26 and Leatherworker to Lv 26 — 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, Steel Ingot has the widest use: 125 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
