Kudzu Culottes of Crafting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Kudzu Culottes of Crafting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Jadeite ×2, Kudzu Cloth ×2, Ruby Cotton Cloth ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 35 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,273 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 27 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 17 Lightning Crystal, 10 Wind Shard, 4 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 65, Leatherworker to Lv 64 and Goldsmith to Lv 40 — 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, Ruby Cotton Yarn has the widest use: 91 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
