Lar Headgear of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Lar Headgear of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Lar Ingot ×2, Silver Lobo Leather ×1, Star Quartz ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 55 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,346 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 40 Wind Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal and 7 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 91 and Leatherworker to Lv 91 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 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, Star Quartz has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
