Velveteen Gown

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Velveteen Gown is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Undyed Velveteen ×2, Silver Ingot ×1, Dew Thread ×3 and 1 other — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 13 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 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 7 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Lightning Shard and 5 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 30 and Goldsmith to Lv 23 — 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, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
