Maple Longbow

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Maple Longbow is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Hempen Yarn ×1 and Maple Lumber ×1 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 4 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 486 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

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

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 7 and Weaver to Lv 1 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Maple Longbow is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Carpenter recipes.
