Rarefied Hardsilver Pole

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Hardsilver Pole is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Hardsilver Ingot ×2, Dragon Leather ×1, Tiger's Eye ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 28 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,645 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 31 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 26 Wind Crystal, 5 Earth Crystal, 5 Fire Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 58 and Leatherworker to Lv 56 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 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, Hardsilver Ingot has the widest use: 117 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
