Padded Leather Duckbills of Gathering

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Padded Leather Duckbills of Gathering is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Leather Duckbills ×1, Undyed Cotton Cloth ×1, Cotton Yarn ×2 and 3 others — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 11 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 537 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Earth Shard, 4 Lightning Shard and 2 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 21 and Weaver to Lv 13 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 3 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, Undyed Cotton Cloth has the widest use: 71 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
