Walnut Macuahuitl

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Walnut Macuahuitl is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Walnut Lumber ×1 — which resolves to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 5 units, plus 9 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,201 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 464 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 2 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Wind Shard and 3 Ice Shard.

Every step is Carpenter work, from a Lv 25 intermediate up to the Lv 34 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

Both raw materials are gathered, and no spot for either is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Walnut Lumber has the widest use: 128 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
