Raptorskin Pot Helm

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Raptorskin Pot Helm is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Raptor Leather ×2, Cobalt Rivets ×1, Mythril Ingot ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 40 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 724 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 29 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Earth Shard, 14 Fire Shard and 10 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 45, Blacksmith to Lv 43 and Goldsmith to Lv 41 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 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, Cobalt Ingot has the widest use: 145 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
