Fingerless Hard Leather Gloves

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Fingerless Hard Leather Gloves is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Hard Leather ×2, Iron Rivets ×1 and Iron Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 5 units, plus 6 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,201 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 489 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 3 Earth Shard, 2 Fire Shard and 1 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 15 and Blacksmith to Lv 18 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

One intermediate outranks the result: Iron Rivets is a Lv 18 Blacksmith recipe feeding a Lv 15 craft, so that step, not the last one, is the real gate.

1 of the 2 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.
