Deepgold Mail of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Deepgold Mail of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Deepgold Ingot ×2, Electrum Ingot ×1, Green Glider Leather ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 881 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 29 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Earth Crystal, 12 Fire Crystal, 6 Ice Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 73, Blacksmith to Lv 72, Leatherworker to Lv 72, Weaver to Lv 72 and Goldsmith to Lv 42 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 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, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
