Cobalt Tungsten Vest of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cobalt Tungsten Vest of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Cobalt Tungsten Ingot ×2, Grade 1 Gemsap of Vitality ×2, Sarcenet Cloth ×2 and 3 others — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 40 units, plus 79 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,825 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,258 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 64 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal, 16 Lightning Crystal, 16 Wind Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 95, Blacksmith to Lv 94, Weaver to Lv 94, Alchemist to Lv 93 and Goldsmith to Lv 92 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

9 of the 10 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, Cobalt Tungsten Ingot has the widest use: 105 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
