Dwarven Mythril Shoes of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Dwarven Mythril Shoes of Fending is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Dwarven Mythril Ingot ×2, Bright Linen Yarn ×1, Grade 1 Vitality Alkahest ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 45 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 881 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 31 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Earth Crystal, 14 Fire Crystal, 7 Ice Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 78, Blacksmith to Lv 78, Leatherworker to Lv 78, Alchemist to Lv 73 and Weaver to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 9 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, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
