Doman Steel Main Gauches

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Doman Steel Main Gauches is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Durium Ingot ×2, Tama-hagane Ingot ×2, Beetle Glue ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 53 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,595 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 44 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 23 Fire Crystal, 18 Wind Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 67, Goldsmith to Lv 66, Alchemist to Lv 64 and Leatherworker to Lv 64 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 11 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, Durium Nugget has the widest use: 142 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
