Sarcenet Trapper's Hat of Gathering

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Sarcenet Trapper's Hat of Gathering is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Sarcenet Cloth ×2, Br'aax Leather ×1, Ihuykanite ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 55 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,106 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Lightning Crystal, 23 Wind Crystal and 8 Earth Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 94, Leatherworker to Lv 94 and Goldsmith to Lv 92 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 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, Annite Whetstone has the widest use: 96 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
