Bronze Scepter

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Bronze Scepter is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Bronze Ingot ×1 — which resolves to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 4 units, plus 3 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,935 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 504 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

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

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 12 and Blacksmith to Lv 1 — 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, Bronze Ingot has the widest use: 76 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
