Thunderyards Silk Cap of Crafting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Thunderyards Silk Cap of Crafting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Thunderyards Silk ×2, Black Star ×1, Rroneek Serge ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,065 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Lightning Crystal, 16 Wind Crystal and 8 Water Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 100, Goldsmith to Lv 98 and Alchemist to Lv 95 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 4 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, Black Star has the widest use: 161 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
