Gargantuaskin Halfgloves of Crafting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gargantuaskin Halfgloves of Crafting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Gargantua Leather ×2, Thunderyards Silk ×1 and White Gold Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,103 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Earth Crystal, 16 Wind Crystal and 8 Lightning Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 100, Weaver to Lv 98 and Goldsmith to Lv 96 — 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, White Gold Ingot has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
