Survival Hat

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Survival Hat is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Dhalmel Leather ×2, Larimar ×2, Ramie Thread ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 31 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,208 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Wind Shard, 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Wind Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Weaver to Lv 54 and Goldsmith to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 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, Dhalmel Leather has the widest use: 106 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
