Raw resources. Every craftable ingredient is expanded down to base resources — this is the total you need to gather from scratch. Sub-component yields (e.g. Metal Ingots per smelt) are accounted for, and totals are rounded up to whole units.

The raw breakdown recurses every craftable ingredient to base resources and divides by each sub-component's craft yield; recipe loops (such as Element and Element Shard) are stopped at the first repeat and counted as a raw input.
