Gazelleskin Bracers of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gazelleskin Bracers of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Gazelle Leather ×2, Grade 1 Reisui of Vitality ×1, Molybdenum Ingot ×1 and 4 others — which resolve to 14 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 45 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,713 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 35 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Earth Crystal, 14 Fire Crystal, 9 Water Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 68, Blacksmith to Lv 68, Weaver to Lv 68 and Alchemist to Lv 66 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

13 of the 14 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.
