Rarefied Manganese Armor of the Behemoth King

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Manganese Armor of the Behemoth King is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Manganese Ingot ×2, Bismuth Ingot ×1 and Kumbhira Leather ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 847 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal, 16 Earth Crystal and 8 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 87, Blacksmith to Lv 86 and Leatherworker to Lv 86 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 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, Manganese Ingot has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
