Rarefied Dragonskin Ring

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Dragonskin Ring is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Dragon Leather ×2, Hardsilver Ingot ×2 and Hardsilver Nugget ×2 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 28 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,414 of the 1,844 Leatherworker 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 23 Wind Crystal and 15 Earth Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 58 and Goldsmith to Lv 56 — 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, Hardsilver Ingot has the widest use: 117 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
