Mythril Vambraces

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythril Vambraces is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Boar Leather ×1, Mythril Plate ×1, Peiste Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 29 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 540 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 20 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Earth Shard, 9 Ice Shard and 8 Fire Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 41, Blacksmith to Lv 38 and Leatherworker to Lv 38 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 5 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.
