Glade Desk

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Glade Desk is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Oak Lumber ×4, Linseed Oil ×2 and Walnut Lumber ×2 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 849 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 22 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 20 Wind Shard, 6 Water Shard and 4 Ice Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 38 and Alchemist to Lv 29 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Glade Desk is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Alchemist recipes.
