Manganese Greatsword

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Manganese Greatsword is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Manganese Ingot ×3, Blue Zircon ×1, Moon Gel ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 72 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,301 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 56 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Fire Crystal, 16 Earth Crystal, 16 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 86, Goldsmith to Lv 86, Alchemist to Lv 85 and Leatherworker to Lv 84 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 8 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, Manganese Ingot has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
