Iron Claw Hammer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Iron Claw Hammer is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Elm Lumber ×1, Iron Ingot ×1 and Jellyfish Humours ×1 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 5 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 529 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 3 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 2 Fire Shard, 1 Earth Shard, 1 Water Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 20, Alchemist to Lv 19 and Carpenter to Lv 16 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 3 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, Iron Ingot has the widest use: 113 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
