Serpentskin Bush Hat

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Serpentskin Bush Hat is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Amphiptere Leather ×2, Chimerical Felt ×1, Hardsilver Ingot ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 29 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,336 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 26 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Earth Crystal, 9 Wind Crystal, 5 Lightning Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Weaver to Lv 58, Goldsmith to Lv 56 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 9 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Hardsilver Ingot has the widest use: 117 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
