Molybdenum Ball-pein Hammer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Molybdenum Ball-pein Hammer is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Molybdenum Ingot ×2, Tama-hagane Ingot ×2, Beetle Glue ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 41 units, plus 52 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,923 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,468 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 42 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 33 Fire Crystal, 10 Earth Crystal and 9 Water Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 69, Leatherworker to Lv 68 and Alchemist to Lv 66 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 11 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.
