Dark Divinity Falleth

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Dark Divinity Falleth is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Darksteel Nugget ×6 and Electrum Ingot ×6 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 46 units, plus 60 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,540 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,675 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 30 Wind Shard, 18 Fire Crystal, 6 Earth Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 50 and Goldsmith to Lv 42 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 3 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
