Molybdenum Awl

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Molybdenum Awl is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Molybdenum Ingot ×2, Steppe Serge ×1, Zelkova Lumber ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totaling 20 units, plus 33 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,876 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 851 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 22 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Crystal, 5 Earth Crystal, 5 Lightning Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 70, Carpenter to Lv 68, Weaver to Lv 66 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — 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, Molybdenum Ingot has the widest use: 109 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
