Felt Trousers

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Felt Trousers is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Cobalt Rivets ×1, Raptor Leather ×1, Undyed Felt ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 36 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 799 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Lightning Shard, 10 Fire Shard, 6 Wind Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 48, Blacksmith to Lv 43, Leatherworker to Lv 41 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 9 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 4 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Cobalt Ingot has the widest use: 145 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
