Moogle Letter Box

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Moogle Letter Box is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Cobalt Plate ×2, Mahogany Lumber ×2, Undyed Woolen Cloth ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 61 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 847 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 50 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 20 Fire Shard, 16 Ice Shard, 10 Lightning Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 45, Blacksmith to Lv 42, Carpenter to Lv 39 and Weaver to Lv 39 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Undyed Woolen Cloth has the widest use: 154 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
