Ironwood Fishing Rod

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ironwood Fishing Rod is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Ironwood Lumber ×2, Kumbhira Leather ×1 and Manganese Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 815 of the 1,552 Carpenter 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 Wind Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Fire Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 87, Blacksmith 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.
