Gyuki Leather Trousers of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gyuki Leather Trousers of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Gyuki Leather ×2, Ruby Cotton Cloth ×2 and Ruby Cotton Yarn ×7 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 20 units, plus 19 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,876 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,025 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 13 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Earth Crystal, 7 Lightning Crystal and 3 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 62 and Weaver to Lv 62 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 3 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, Ruby Cotton Yarn has the widest use: 91 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
