Mounted Dinosaur Skull

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mounted Dinosaur Skull is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Lignum Vitae Lumber ×2, Mortar ×2 and Distilled Water ×2 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 17 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,161 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,025 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Wind Crystal, 7 Fire Crystal and 4 Water Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 80, Carpenter to Lv 78 and Alchemist to Lv 20 — 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, Mortar has the widest use: 140 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
