Molybdenum Greaves of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Molybdenum Greaves of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Molybdenum Ingot ×2, Gazelle Leather ×1, Grade 1 Reisui of Vitality ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 43 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,169 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 33 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 19 Fire Crystal, 10 Earth Crystal, 9 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 69, Blacksmith to Lv 68, Leatherworker to Lv 68 and Alchemist 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.
