Amateur's Slops

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Amateur's Slops is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Undyed Hempen Cloth ×2, Leather ×1 and Hempen Yarn ×4 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 7 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 495 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 5 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Lightning Shard, 1 Earth Shard and 1 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 9 and Leatherworker to Lv 1 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

1 of the 3 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Undyed Hempen Cloth has the widest use: 66 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
