Padded Velveteen Trousers

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Padded Velveteen Trousers is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Iron Rivets ×1, Toad Leather ×1, Undyed Velveteen ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 12 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,221 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 768 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Lightning Shard, 3 Wind Shard, 2 Earth Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 30, Leatherworker to Lv 26 and Blacksmith to Lv 18 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 6 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Iron Ingot has the widest use: 113 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
