Plumed Doman Steel Pickaxe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Plumed Doman Steel Pickaxe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Tama-hagane Ingot ×3, Beetle Glue ×1, Kudzu Cloth ×1 and 4 others — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,595 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 41 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Fire Crystal, 5 Lightning Crystal, 5 Wind Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 66, Carpenter to Lv 66, Alchemist to Lv 64 and Weaver to Lv 64 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 10 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Oroshigane Ingot has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
