Manganese Rapier

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Manganese Rapier is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Blue Zircon ×2, Manganese Ingot ×2, Saiga Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 35 units, plus 80 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,223 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,790 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 64 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 48 Wind Crystal, 24 Fire Crystal and 8 Earth Crystal.

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

5 of the 6 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, Manganese Ingot has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
