Rose Gold Clasps ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rose Gold Clasps is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Darksteel Nugget ×2, Rose Gold Ingot ×1 and Rose Gold Nugget ×2 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 15 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,288 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 13 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Fire Crystal, 6 Wind Crystal, 2 Wind Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 50 and Blacksmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00) and Gold Ore (9:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 real-world minutes.

Rose Gold Clasps is itself consumed by 2 further recipes, all of them Goldsmith recipes.
