Gazelle Horn Needle

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gazelle Horn Needle is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Durium Ingot ×1, Persimmon Lumber ×1, Slate Whetstone ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 17 units, plus 26 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,161 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,025 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 17 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Wind Crystal and 4 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 66 and Carpenter to Lv 66 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 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, Durium Nugget has the widest use: 142 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
