Molybdenum File

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Molybdenum File is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Molybdenum Ingot ×2, Gazelle Leather ×1 and Persimmon Tannin ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 31 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 804 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 20 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Crystal, 10 Earth Crystal and 5 Water Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 70, Leatherworker to Lv 68 and Alchemist to Lv 66 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes 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.
