Mythril Ear Cuffs

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythril Ear Cuffs is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Mythril Ingot ×2 and Basilisk Whetstone ×1 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 710 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 13 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Fire Shard and 10 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 41 and Blacksmith to Lv 38 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

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, Mythril Ingot has the widest use: 135 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
