Doman Steel Tabard of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Doman Steel Tabard of Fending is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 8 intermediates — Grade 1 Reisui of Vitality ×2, Steppe Serge ×2, Tama-hagane Ingot ×2 and 5 others — which resolve to 15 distinct raw materials totalling 45 units, plus 53 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,451 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,312 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 1 recipe nests 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 18 Fire Crystal, 10 Lightning Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses six disciplines — Armorer to Lv 67, Blacksmith to Lv 66, Weaver to Lv 66, Goldsmith to Lv 64, Leatherworker to Lv 64 and Alchemist to Lv 63 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

12 of the 15 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.
