High Steel Barbut of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one High Steel Barbut of Maiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — High Steel Ingot ×3, Gagana Leather ×1 and High Steel Nugget ×4 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 38 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,698 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,239 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Fire Crystal, 6 Earth Crystal and 3 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 62, Blacksmith to Lv 62 and Leatherworker to Lv 61 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 6 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, High Steel Nugget has the widest use: 133 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
