Ranger's Tunic

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ranger's Tunic is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Undyed Woolen Cloth ×2, Aldgoat Leather ×1 and Woolen Yarn ×5 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 664 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 13 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 17 Lightning Shard, 5 Wind Shard and 1 Earth Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 42 and Leatherworker to Lv 17 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

1 of the 4 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Undyed Woolen Cloth has the widest use: 154 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
