Best Man's Gaiters ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Best Man's Gaiters is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Hard Hippogryph Leather ×1, Undyed Woolen Cloth ×1, Hippogryph Leather ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 847 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 12 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Earth Crystal, 5 Lightning Shard, 2 Earth Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 50 and Weaver to Lv 39 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

1 of the 5 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 4 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Undyed Woolen Cloth has the widest use: 154 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
