Ruthenium Greatsword

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ruthenium Greatsword is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Hammerhead Crocodile Leather ×2, Ruthenium Ingot ×2, Annite Whetstone ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 63 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,223 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Fire Crystal, 23 Earth Crystal and 8 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 92, Leatherworker to Lv 92 and Goldsmith to Lv 86 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 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, Annite Whetstone has the widest use: 96 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
