High Durium Axe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one High Durium Axe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — High Durium Nugget ×3, Ametrine ×1, Lignum Vitae Lumber ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 69 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,266 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 54 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Fire Crystal, 23 Wind Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

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

5 of the 7 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, Lignum Vitae Lumber has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
