Toadskin Brais

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Toadskin Brais is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Toad Leather ×1, Undyed Cotton Cloth ×1 and Cotton Yarn ×3 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 10 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 598 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

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

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 29 and Weaver to Lv 13 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 4 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, Undyed Cotton Cloth has the widest use: 71 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
