Orthodox Barding

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Orthodox Barding is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Ramie Cloth ×4, Larimar ×2, Dhalmel Leather ×1 and 4 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 40 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,825 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,705 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 47 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Lightning Crystal, 15 Wind Shard, 12 Wind Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 56, Leatherworker to Lv 54 and Goldsmith to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

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