Serge Sarouel of Gathering

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Serge Sarouel of Gathering is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Steppe Serge ×3, Durium Ingot ×1, Worsted Yarn ×10 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 43 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,541 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Lightning Crystal, 13 Wind Crystal and 8 Water Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 67, Goldsmith 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, Durium Nugget has the widest use: 142 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
