Electrum Ear Cuffs

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Electrum Ear Cuffs is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Basilisk Whetstone ×2 and Electrum Ingot ×2 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 801 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 20 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 26 Wind Shard and 6 Fire Shard.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 40 intermediate up to the Lv 49 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, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
