Hard Leather Ringbands

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Hard Leather Ringbands is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Hard Leather ×1 and Iron Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 4 units, plus 4 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,935 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 457 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

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

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 16 and Blacksmith to Lv 16 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

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.

Of the intermediates, Iron Ingot has the widest use: 113 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
