Manganese Pickaxe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Manganese Pickaxe is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Manganese Ingot ×2, Ironwood Lumber ×1 and Kumbhira Leather ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 917 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal, 16 Earth Crystal and 8 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 87, Carpenter to Lv 86 and Leatherworker to Lv 86 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 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.
