Doman Steel Gauntlets of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Doman Steel Gauntlets of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Tama-hagane Ingot ×3, Grade 1 Reisui of Vitality ×1, Tiger Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 42 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,044 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,279 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 39 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 31 Fire Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 5 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

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

8 of the 9 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Oroshigane Ingot has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
