Dragonskin Boots

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Dragonskin Boots is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Dragon Leather ×1, Ramie Thread ×1 and Rubber ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 17 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 691 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Earth Crystal, 4 Wind Crystal, 2 Lightning Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 56, Weaver to Lv 54 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 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, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
