Velveteen Bandana

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Velveteen Bandana is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Undyed Velveteen ×3, Cotton Yarn ×3 and Dew Thread ×3 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 11 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 695 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 7 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Lightning Shard and 2 Wind Shard.

Every step is Weaver work, from a Lv 12 intermediate up to the Lv 25 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

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, Undyed Velveteen has the widest use: 71 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
