Velveteen Beret

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Velveteen Beret is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Undyed Velveteen ×1, Dew Thread ×2 and Cotton Yarn ×1 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 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 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Lightning Shard and 2 Wind Shard.

Every step is Weaver work, from a Lv 12 intermediate up to the Lv 29 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

1 of the 3 raw materials matches 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.
