White Ash Earring of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one White Ash Earring of Fending is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Atrociraptor Leather ×1, Grade 1 Vitality Alkahest ×1, Rainbow Thread ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 18 units, plus 34 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,380 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 740 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Wind Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal, 6 Ice Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 75, Leatherworker to Lv 74, Alchemist to Lv 73 and Weaver to Lv 51 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 8 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, Rainbow Thread has the widest use: 116 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
