Ra'Kaznar Armor of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ra'Kaznar Armor of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Ra'Kaznar Ingot ×3, Grade 1 Gemsap of Vitality ×2, Black Star ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 40 units, plus 80 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 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 64 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Fire Crystal, 16 Water Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 99, Blacksmith to Lv 98, Goldsmith to Lv 98, Weaver to Lv 96 and Alchemist to Lv 95 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 9 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, Ra'Kaznar Ingot has the widest use: 166 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
