Taoist's Cap ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Taoist's Cap is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Twinthread ×1, Worsted Yarn ×1 and Natron ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 9 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 799 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Lightning Crystal, 2 Lightning Cluster, 2 Water Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 70 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 6 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, Twinthread has the widest use: 109 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
