Cotton Bracers

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cotton Bracers is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Undyed Cotton Cloth ×2, Hard Leather ×1, Iron Ingot ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totaling 8 units, plus 9 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 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Lightning Shard, 1 Earth Shard, 1 Fire Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 23, Blacksmith to Lv 16 and Leatherworker to Lv 8 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 3 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, Iron Ingot has the widest use: 113 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
