High Durium Knuckles

Taken all the way down to base materials, one High Durium Knuckles is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — High Durium Nugget ×3, Horse Chestnut Lumber ×1, Sea Swallow Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 61 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,133 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 46 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal, 14 Earth Crystal, 8 Ice Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 81, Blacksmith to Lv 81, Carpenter to Lv 81, Leatherworker to Lv 78 and Alchemist to Lv 75 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 7 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Sea Swallow Leather has the widest use: 124 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
