Leather Targe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Leather Targe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Leather ×2, Ash Lumber ×1, Bronze Rivets ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 7 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 636 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

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

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 13, Carpenter to Lv 10 and Blacksmith to Lv 3 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 4 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, Bronze Ingot has the widest use: 76 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
