Raptorskin Jerkin

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Raptorskin Jerkin is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Raptor Leather ×2, Boar Leather ×1, Electrum Ingot ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 15 units, plus 37 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,735 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 826 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 26 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 20 Earth Shard, 10 Wind Shard, 5 Lightning Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 47, Weaver to Lv 43, Goldsmith to Lv 42 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 9 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 4 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
