High Steel Cross-pein Hammer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one High Steel Cross-pein Hammer is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — High Steel Nugget ×2, Beech Lumber ×1 and Gagana Leather ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 18 units, plus 17 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,380 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 781 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 12 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Fire Crystal, 5 Earth Crystal and 3 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 61, Carpenter to Lv 61 and Leatherworker to Lv 61 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 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, High Steel Nugget has the widest use: 133 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
