Saigaskin Armguards of Casting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Saigaskin Armguards of Casting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Saiga Leather ×2, Grade 5 Intelligence Alkahest ×1, Luncheon Toad Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 55 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,336 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Earth Crystal, 15 Wind Crystal and 8 Water Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 84, Goldsmith to Lv 84 and Alchemist to Lv 83 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 9 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, Luncheon Toad Leather has the widest use: 88 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
