Silver Scepter

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Silver Scepter is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Silver Ingot ×1 — which resolves to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 5 units, plus 6 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,201 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 564 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 2 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Wind Shard and 2 Fire Shard.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 23 intermediate up to the Lv 26 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

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.

Silver Scepter is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Goldsmith recipes.
