Replica Sky Pirate's Mask of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Replica Sky Pirate's Mask of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Clear Glass Lens ×2 and Natron ×2 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 15 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 742 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 10 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Water Shard, 3 Wind Crystal and 2 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 61 and Alchemist to Lv 28 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Clear Glass Lens has the widest use: 96 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
