Palladium Choker of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Palladium Choker of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Grade 1 Reisui of Vitality ×1, Marid Leather ×1, Palladium Nugget ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,665 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Fire Crystal, 10 Wind Crystal, 9 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 68, Alchemist to Lv 66, Blacksmith to Lv 66 and Leatherworker 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, Palladium Nugget has the widest use: 129 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
