Padded Hempen Trousers

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Padded Hempen Trousers is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Cotton Yarn ×1, Hard Leather ×1, Undyed Hempen Cloth ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 6 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 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Lightning Shard, 1 Earth Shard and 1 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 16 and Leatherworker to Lv 8 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 4 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Hard Leather has the widest use: 67 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
