Almasty Serge Headband of Scouting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Almasty Serge Headband of Scouting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Almasty Serge ×2, Dark Hempen Cloth ×1 and Pewter Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 47 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 977 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Lightning Crystal and 15 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 82 and Goldsmith to Lv 82 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 4 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, Almasty Serge has the widest use: 71 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
