Toadskin Cesti

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Toadskin Cesti is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Steel Ingot ×1 and Toad Leather ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 9 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 537 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

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

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 28 and Blacksmith to Lv 26 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 5 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, Steel Ingot has the widest use: 125 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
