Molybdenum Hatchet

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Molybdenum Hatchet is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Molybdenum Ingot ×2, Beetle Glue ×1, Gazelle Leather ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 27 units, plus 39 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,763 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,123 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 29 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Fire Crystal, 10 Earth Crystal, 9 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

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

6 of the 9 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, Molybdenum Ingot has the widest use: 109 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
