Decorated Silver Scepter

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Decorated Silver Scepter is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Silver Scepter ×1 and Silver Ingot ×3 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 12 units, plus 17 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,221 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 862 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 10 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Wind Shard and 5 Fire Shard.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 23 intermediate up to the Lv 34 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

2 of the 4 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
