Doman Steel Hatchet

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Doman Steel Hatchet is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Tama-hagane Ingot ×3, Beetle Glue ×1, Persimmon Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 36 units, plus 45 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,383 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,369 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 36 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Fire Crystal, 5 Wind Crystal, 4 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

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

5 of the 8 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 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.
