Tigerskin Boots of Crafting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Tigerskin Boots of Crafting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Tiger Leather ×2, Kudzu Cloth ×1, Rubber ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,103 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 15 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Earth Crystal, 6 Lightning Crystal, 4 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 65, Weaver to Lv 64 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — 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, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
