Hempen Bracers

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Hempen Bracers is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Undyed Hempen Cloth ×2, Bronze Ingot ×1, Hard Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 8 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 610 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Lightning Shard, 1 Earth Shard, 1 Fire Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 11, Leatherworker to Lv 8 and Blacksmith to Lv 1 — 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, Bronze Ingot has the widest use: 76 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
