Toadskin Leg Guards

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Toadskin Leg Guards is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Toad Leather ×2 and Steel Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 12 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 636 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Earth Shard, 3 Wind Shard and 2 Fire Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 31 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.
