Altered Velveteen Hose

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Altered Velveteen Hose is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Toad Leather ×1, Undyed Velveteen ×1, Dew Thread ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 12 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 610 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 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 Lightning Shard, 3 Wind Shard and 2 Earth Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 31 and Leatherworker to Lv 26 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 4 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, Undyed Velveteen has the widest use: 71 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
