Deepgold Pickaxe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Deepgold Pickaxe is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Deepgold Nugget ×2, Smilodon Leather ×1 and White Oak Lumber ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 35 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 804 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Fire Crystal, 11 Earth Crystal and 6 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 71, Carpenter to Lv 71 and Leatherworker to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 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, Deepgold Nugget has the widest use: 55 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
