Linen Sarouel of Gathering

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Linen Sarouel of Gathering is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Aldgoat Leather ×1, Undyed Linen ×1 and Linen Yarn ×3 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 557 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 7 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Lightning Shard, 3 Wind Shard and 1 Earth Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 34 and Leatherworker to Lv 17 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 4 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Aldgoat Leather has the widest use: 98 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
