Rarefied Thunderyards Silk Gloves

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Thunderyards Silk Gloves is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Thunderyards Silk ×2, Gargantua Leather ×1 and Ra'Kaznar Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,065 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Lightning Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Fire Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 99, Blacksmith to Lv 98 and Leatherworker to Lv 98 — 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, Ra'Kaznar Ingot has the widest use: 166 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
