Mythril-plated Caligae

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythril-plated Caligae is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Bronze Ingot ×1, Mythril Plate ×1, Mythril Rivets ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 15 units, plus 36 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,735 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 616 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 26 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Fire Shard, 9 Earth Shard and 9 Ice Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 42, Blacksmith to Lv 39 and Leatherworker to Lv 38 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 6 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, Mythril Ingot has the widest use: 135 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
