Glade Cartonnier

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Glade Cartonnier is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Brass Ingot ×3, Yew Lumber ×3 and Beeswax ×2 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 904 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 11 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 11 Wind Shard, 2 Water Shard and 1 Ice Shard.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 23, Goldsmith to Lv 14 and Alchemist to Lv 10 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 4 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Brass Ingot has the widest use: 94 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
