Twinsilk Slops of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Twinsilk Slops of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Twinsilk ×3, Grade 1 Reisui of Vitality ×2, Gazelle Leather ×1 and 4 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,802 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Lightning Crystal, 9 Fire Crystal, 9 Water Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 69, Leatherworker to Lv 68, Alchemist to Lv 66 and Blacksmith to Lv 66 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

11 of the 12 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.
