Doman Steel Sledgehammer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Doman Steel Sledgehammer is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Tama-hagane Ingot ×2, Beetle Glue ×1, Persimmon Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 36 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,087 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 27 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 23 Fire Crystal, 5 Wind Crystal, 4 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 67, Carpenter to Lv 66 and Alchemist to Lv 64 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 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.
