Raptorskin Smithy's Gloves

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Raptorskin Smithy's Gloves is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Raptor Leather ×2 and Cobalt Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 25 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 636 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 15 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Earth Shard, 5 Fire Shard and 5 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 44 and Blacksmith to Lv 42 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

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