Gaganaskin Leg Guards of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gaganaskin Leg Guards of Fending is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Gagana Leather ×2, Bloodhempen Yarn ×1 and High Steel Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 17 units, plus 15 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,161 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 892 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 10 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Earth Crystal, 3 Fire Crystal, 2 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 61, Blacksmith to Lv 61 and Weaver to Lv 61 — 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, High Steel Nugget has the widest use: 133 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
