Longarm's Composite Bow ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Longarm's Composite Bow is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Spruce Lumber ×1 — which resolves to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 4 units, plus 8 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,935 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 437 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 3 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Wind Crystal and 2 Ice Crystal.

Every step is Carpenter work, from a Lv 50 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

1 of the 2 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Spruce Log (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Spruce Lumber has the widest use: 60 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
